§ Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the long-term effects on the supply of liquid milk, arising from small dairy farmers reducing their herds because of the high cost of feeding stuffs.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartThere is no evidence to date of such a reduction taking place for the specific reason given. The prospects for our dairy farmers and for the continued expansion of milk production in this country are favourable. The present situation, including the effect of feeding-stuff costs, is being considered in depth during the annual review.
