Mr. R. Duckworthasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the Ministry of Food is recommending the consumption of National Milk Cocoa to workers of industrial concerns instead of milk; and whether, as many people do not care for cocoa, he will endeavour to increase the supply of milk for such workers.
§ Colonel LlewellinI have been asked to reply. The supply of milk, notwithstanding an increase in the output, is still insufficient to meet the demand. Industrial workers not entitled to priority supplies are being encouraged to drink National Milk Cocoa in place of milk, in order to ensure that the maximum quantity of milk may be made available to non-priority domestic consumers.
