HC Deb 19 July 1944 vol 402 c197W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Food whether he can state the value of the economy caused by the nationalisation of transport in the collection and distribution of milk.

Colonel Llewellin

In regard to the collection of milk, rationalisation schemes at present in force save 433,000 miles of motor haulage and 30,000 gallons of petrol a week. In regard to the distribution of milk the figures are 879,000 miles and 39,000 gallons a week and 6,700 men and 2,150 women released for other work.
