Mr. Hurd
asked the Minister of Food to state separately the values of the butter, cheese, condensed milk, milk powder, blockmilk, lactose and whey powder which, to a total value of £11,750,000, are to be imported from the Netherlands this year.
Mr. Strachey
The agreement provides for the import of £300,000 worth of blockmilk, £250,000 worth of lactose and £100,000 worth of whey powder but I cannot give figures for the remaining items at present since provision has been made for considerable interchangeability between them. The bulk will, however, be made up of butter and cheese.
