HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 cc380-1W
61. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Food how much milk and other food has deteriorated or has been wasted in a storage warehouse in Newport recently, of which details have been sent him by the Monmouthshire Housewives' League.

Mr. Strachey

One hundred and four and a half cases of imported canned milk were found to be damaged on arrival at a Newport store, probably through overheating on the voyage. The contents of 90 of the cases have been used in various ways and only 14½ destroyed.
