HC Deb 01 August 1911 vol 29 cc173-4
Captain FABER

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will state whether the bacilli of tubercle have been found to be in butter?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

Tubercle bacilli are occasionally to be found in butter, when they have been present in the milk from which the butter was made. The risk to health from such butter may be regarded as relatively slight.
