Mr. Teddy Cashman:

I think it was a cynical enough gesture. I would not support it. In the British scenario, there are aligned contracts in England. The Tesco, Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury contracts are linked into the costs of production, and have been for the past few years, and they are a much more sustainable system. I do not agree with them entirely but they are a better system than what Morrisons were supporting. They only came about eight or nine years ago because there was a sense that there would not be enough milk in UK to supply the liquid milk market there. It was a response to dumping down and people getting out of milk production at the time. It was a cynical gesture. I cannot give the Senator figures as to the take-up of that initiative because they are hard to get.
