HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c37W
Mr. Beggs

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many jobs in cheese manufacturing will be lost by a reduction of 50 per cent. of present supplies of milk to the cheese industry.

Mr. Butler

In such a hypothetical situation, jobs would undoubtedly be at risk but because of the many variables involved, it is not possible to quantify this.
