HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 cc560-1W
32. Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what initative he is taking to encourage the consumption of home produced milk.

Mr. MacGregor

We take every available opportunity to draw attention to the advantages of fresh pasteurised home-produced milk. We are also greatly encouraged by the activities of the National Dairy council which is financed by the industry and is responsible for promotion of milk. The Council has recently launched a major campaign, with a budget of £8.5 million in 1984, to encourage comsumption with particular emphasise on doorstep sales.
