MILK SUPPLIES

POSITION IN BRITAIN SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER LIKELY (Rec. 8 p.m.) RUGBY, Apl. 29. Though milk consumption in Britain during the past year has risen nearly 20 per cent, above the pre-war figure, there is no likelihood of any shortage in the next six months, the Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, said to-day. He added that there was something approaching certainty that at that rate there would be a shortage next winter. Lord Woolton was explaining why the Government preferred to let dairymen distribute one-seventh less milk in the light of their knowledge of what customers required, rather than to introduce uniform rationing which, he said, would give each person in the country about two-fifths of a pint daily. The restriction during the summer will allow a surplus for the manufacture of cheese and for making condensed milk for winter use.
