§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the proportion of total liquid milk production in Wales at the last available date which was sold to the Milk Marketing Board.
§ Mr. John MackieThere are no precise statistics relating to total milk production from the Welsh dairy herd. In addition to sales of liquid milk to the Milk Marketing Board, some milk is sold by producer retailers and some milk and milk products are consumed in farm households or fed to dairy livestock. It is estimated that sales to the Milk Marketing Board are of the order of 90 to 95 per cent. of total production.
