HC Deb 04 February 1908 vol 183 cc715-6
MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH (Derbyshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister if, in view of the widespread anxiety existing in many parts of the country, he will cause a full inquiry to be made into the question of the supply of milk in relation to public health before any legislation is introduced.

MR. JOHN BURNS

Perhaps I may be allowed to answer this Question. The Government are desirous that there should be legislation with regard to milk supply during the present session, and I could not promise further inquiry before introducing a Bill on the subject.

MR. LLTTON (Lincolnshire, Sleaford)

Is it a fact that the chief defect in the milk supply of this country is a want of supply at all?

[No Answer was returned.]
