HC Deb 23 January 1968 vol 757 cc96-7W
Mr. Haseldine

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the gallonage of raw milk sold in England and Wales between April, 1966, arid December, 1967; and in what areas such raw milk is mainly sold.

Mr. Hoy

From data provided by the Milk Marketing Board it is estimated that some 88 million gallons of milk were sold raw by retail in England and Wales during the period April, 1966, and December, 1967. This represents less than 3½ per cent. of total liquid consumption (2,586 million gallons) during the period. About 45 per cent. of the sales occur in Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.
