HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c17W
35. Major McCallum

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that milk could be sent by air from the Island of Islay, Argyll, to towns in Britain where milk is in short supply, just as easily as from Northern Ireland, and that the milk supply is available in this island; and whether he will make arrangements accordingly.

Mr. Strachey

This could be done, but, owing to the relatively small quantities available, the cost would be prohibitive. Starting next month surplus milk in Islay will, as usual, be brought across by sea.
