With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 5 and 6 together.
I have at present under examination the question of the minimum standards, administered by local authorities, for the composition of milk sold for human consumption.
I am also considering whether and, if so, what measures should be taken to deal with the situation that at certain times of the year and particularly where feed for livestock may be relatively scarce, some cows produce milk which is not up to the prescribed standards of quality for liquid consumption.
