I'm sure this is true for today. I was talking historically here and
I believe Mr. Cadbury started out using Nestle's plain old ordinary
powdered milk, just after Nestle perfected the powdering process.

I don't care for the taste of Cadbury milk chocolate - way too sweet
and overly milky for me. Of course, I'm very much a dark chocolate
person, and usually avoid milk chocolates in any case.
