Captain FABERasked whether a large quantity of milk had been imported from the Continent lately into London and sold as new milk, and in that case how he proposes that the cows from which the milk is drawn should be kept under inspection, as is done in this country; whether a considerable amount of milk is remanufactured from condensed milk and sold as new; and, if so, whether he can have this milk labelled?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYThe answer is in the affirmative to the first part of the question. The second part should be addressed by my right hon. Friend to the President of the Local Government Board. Inquiry is being made as to the practice of remanufacture of condensed milk, and I should be glad to receive any information which the hon. Member may possess with regard to it.
Captain FABERWhat use is it to have inspectors in this country if foreign milk is imported without the cows being inspected?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a question of an argumentative character.
