HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 c8W
70. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Food what proportion of the milk supply of this country was skinned, skimmed, evaporated, converted into butter or cheese or otherwise processed, instead of being consumed as liquid milk, before the war; and how much is dealt with in such ways at the present time.

Dr. Summerskill

One-third of the milk sold off farms before the war was manufactured into milk products; the corresponding proportion last year was 12 per cent.
