HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 c147W
1. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Food whether, following the assurance he gave previously, he will shortly restore the 40 per cent. cut in the supply of milk substitute for calf rearing.

Mr. Strachey

In September manufacturers of calf foods received 50 per cent. of the milk powder they received in September, 1947. In October, 1948, this was mixed to 80 per cent. of the milk powder and the full amount of dried whey powder that they used last year. We intend to maintain this rate for the next few months, after which allocations will depend on available supplies.
