§ 75. Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the opinions expressed by Professor Moore and other food experts at the meeting last week of the physiological section of the British Medical Association to the effect that the value of milk to young children is reduced by its sterilisation; and whether the experts of his Department share this view?
§ The PRESIDENT Of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)No report of the meeting to which the hon. Member refers appears yet to be available. The relative values of boiled and raw milk as foods for infants and young children have, however, been fully discussed in a Report made to me by Dr. Janet Lane-Claypon, and I shall be pleased to send the hon. Member a copy of that Report.
§ Mr. BURNSBefore I reply to that question I would suggest to the hon. Member that he should read the Report which I shall send to him and to which I have already referred.
§ Mr. C. BATHURSTDo I understand from the reply given that sterilised milk is injurious to infants, or is it not?
