asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he will make a statement on the possibility of redundancies in milk processing factories through a shortage of milk in 1976 due to heavy selling of cows; and the steps he is taking to avert this situation.

24.
As the heavy selling of cows this year is mainly from nondairy herds there is no reason to assume that there will be a reduction in the intake of manufacturing milk in 1976 on that account. The indications are that there will be an increase.
The Minister does not anticipate any reduction at all?
In milk production?
Yes.
I expect an increase.
