Milk Mr. Hayes To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much milk was produced surplus to requirements by UK farmers; and how much milk was imported in each of the last 10 years. [128259] Mr. Bradshaw It is difficult to determine how much milk is produced that is "surplus to requirements". This will depend on whether one considers the requirements of UK processors and food manufacturers, both for products intended for domestic consumption or export, or the requirements of UK consumers. Nevertheless, I hope the data tabulated as follows on UK imports, exports, production, domestic use and self-sufficiency for the major milk products since 1991 gives an indication of the position. --------------------------- | | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream) | --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream) | --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream) | --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream)5||||||| --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder6 | --------------------------- -------------------------- | | -------------------------- | |||||| -------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2| -------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | -------------------------- |Butter | -------------------------- |Cheese | -------------------------- |Cream | -------------------------- |Condensed milk | -------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream)| -------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | -------------------------- | |||||| -------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2| -------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | -------------------------- |Butter | -------------------------- |Cheese | -------------------------- |Cream | -------------------------- |Condensed milk | -------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream)| -------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | -------------------------- | |||||| -------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2| -------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | -------------------------- |Butter | -------------------------- |Cheese | -------------------------- |Cream | -------------------------- |Condensed milk | -------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream)| -------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | -------------------------- --------------------------- | | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream) | --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder | --------------------------- | |||||| --------------------------- |Unprocessed liquid milk2 | --------------------------- |Processed liquid milk3 | --------------------------- |Butter | --------------------------- |Cheese | --------------------------- |Cream | --------------------------- |Condensed milk | --------------------------- |Milk powder (full cream)5||||||| --------------------------- |Skimmed milk powder6 | --------------------------- Source: Agriculture in the United Kingdom (2002).
