HC Deb 28 March 1911 vol 23 c1143
Mr. MOUNT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he has any information showing that the fresh milk and cream which is imported into this country from France is produced under restrictions and conditions similar to those imposed upon dairy farmers in England?

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

Inquiries were made in 1908 as to the methods adopted at the creamery in France from which the bulk of the fresh milk which has been imported into this country appears to be obtained and from which also a considerable quantity of cream is imported. The results of these inquiries appeared generally satisfactory, as also the results of examination of certain samples which have since then been taken in London.
