HC Deb 01 April 1908 vol 187 cc498-9
SIR F. BANBURY (City of London)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the medical officer of the City of London recently reported in some detail upon the unsatisfactory condition of the milk supplied within the City, with suggestions for preventing the contamination of such milk; whether he has received a copy of that Report with certain representations from the Corporation based thereon; and whether he intends dealing with the subject in his Bill.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) Battersea

I have received a copy of the Report referred to. As I stated in reply to a previous Question on this subject, I trust that the effects of the Bill which I hope to introduce will be to secure more satisfactory control over the milk supply of the country.
