HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 c192W
Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Food what was the consumption of liquid milk per head each day in England and Wales for the years 1938, 1948 and at the present time; and also the figures for Stoke-on-Trent.

Mr. Webb

It is estimated that the average daily consumption of liquid milk per head in England and Wales in 1938 was 0.43 pint, in 1948 0.70 pint, and so far in 1950 0.75 pint. The only pre-war estimate I can give for Stoke-on-Trent is 0.24 pint in 1935. In 1948 the estimated daily consumption of liquid milk in Stoke-on-Trent was 0.71 pint and up to date in 1950 0.70 pint per head.
