HC Deb 22 May 1958 vol 588 c98W
60. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the consumption of liquid milk in April compared with that in April last year; and how the total consumption in the period January to April this year compares with 1957.

Mr. Godber

Liquid milk consumption in the United Kingdom in April, 1958, is estimated to have been 123 million gallons—about 1¼ million gallons more than in April, 1957. Consumption in the first four months of this year is estimated at 499 million gallons—an increase of about 5 million gallons over that in the corresponding period of 1957.
