HC Deb 18 July 1950 vol 477 cc162-4W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many houses have been built in each of the forests in Wales since 1945; and how many are proposed to be built for forestry workers and head foresters during the next 12 months.

Mr. T. Williams

The information asked for is set out in the following table:

was spent on research before they were put on the market.

Mr. T. Williams

I understand from the Milk Marketing Board that they do not sell the "Klim" milk chilling unit. It is, however, the policy of the Board to give guidance to milk producers by approving efficient equipment which, in their opinion, meets the needs of dairy farmers at a reasonable price, and the Board have approved the "Klim" cooler on this basis. The price of this equipment ranges between £90 and £150 according to size, and is considered by the Board to be satisfactory.

Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Agriculture on what terms the Milk Marketing Board sell the "Klim" milk-chilling unit; and whether a profit or a loss has been made, after taking into account the initial research and development costs.

Mr. T. Williams

I am informed by the Board that they do not sell this unit. Accordingly, no profit or loss has been made, nor have the Board incurred any research or development costs.
