§ Mr. Hopkinsonasked the Minister of Food whether he will consider altering the Cream Order, 1951, to permit the sale of cream by farmers using whole milk for stock-rearing purposes, if necessary, under licence from the county agricultural executive committees or under any other safeguards necessary to obviate the use of saleable milk for producing cream.
§ Mr. WebbLicences to make and sell clotted cream are already issued on the recommendation of the county agricultural executive committees to farmers on remote and upland hill farms in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, who rear store calves on the skim milk.
49WI do not think, however, that it would be in the public interest at present to extend this arrangement. We need all the whole milk we can get from other milk producers for the liquid market and for the manufacture of essential products.
