29. Mr. Baker Whiteasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that a surplus of fresh milk is appearing, and is likely to become greater in the coming months; and what steps he is taking to increase the farm and factory production of cheese from this surplus.
§ Mr. WebbI know that during the next few months there will be ample milk supplies and I have already arranged for both farm and factory82W capacity to be used to the fullest possible extent for making cheese. It is estimated that these measures will give us a 50 per cent. higher production of home cheese in 1950 compared with 1949.
