HC Deb 13 May 1948 vol 450 c244W
Mrs. Manning

asked the Minister of Food if he will reconsider his decision to cancel the provision of National Dried Milk to babies between the ages of one and two years.

Mr. Strachey

Supplies of National Dried Milk throughout the year will only be sufficient to meet the increasing requirements of babies up to one year of age, and I cannot jeopardise supplies to them by providing it also for older children for whom this type of milk is not essential. National Dried Milk can, however, be obtained for children between one and two years of age on medical and certain other grounds.
