HC Deb 10 October 1944 vol 403 cc1581-2W
Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Food why instructions have been issued to milk retailers to reserve their supplies of milk from T.T. or attested herds for customers suffering from tuberculosis, children and persons holding priority certificates.

Colonel Llewellin

No instructions such as my hon. Friend mentions have been issued to milk retailers.

Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that in certain areas of Surrey there is a demand for milk from attested or T.T. herds which retailers say they cannot satisfy; and whether, in view of the large quantities of such milk produced in Surrey and Sussex, why retailers cannot Obtain sufficient supplies for all their customers who desire it.

Colonel Llewellin

I am not aware of any unsatisfied demand for T.T. milk in Surrey. If my hon. Friend will let me have the names of the milk retailers whom he has in mind I will see what can be done.
