HC Deb 25 July 1960 vol 627 c86W
63. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the liquid milk consumption in England and Wales from 1st January to 30th June 1960; and if he will state the comparative figure for the same period last year.

Mr. Hare

In the period from 1st January to 30th June, 1960, 690 million gallons of milk were sold for liquid consumption through the Milk Marketing Board in England and Wales. The figure for the corresponding period in 1959 was 678 million gallons. After adjustment to take account of leap year, the 1960 figure represents an increase of 1.2 per cent. over 1959.
