Liquid Milk, Llanwarne District

HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 cc45-6W

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

asked the Minister of Food whether supplies of liquid milk can now be made available to the Llanwarne district of Herefordshire.

Mr. Strachey

We are doing all we can to arrange supplies of liquid milk for the families resident in the Llanwarne district of Herefordshire but because of the scattered nature of the communities considerable difficulty is being experienced in persuading the local producers to retail milk in the area. Some progress has been made since the hon. Member wrote to me on the matter and probably less than 20 families are still without liquid milk. We shall continue our efforts but these families can get National Dried Milk or Condensed Milk free of points on application to the local food office.
