HC Deb 11 June 1912 vol 39 c696
74. Mr. WILKIE

asked if the right hon. Gentleman is aware of the state of the Law with regard to the defence of warranty in the case of prosecutions, under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, of vendors of milk; does he propose to initiate legislation for the better protection of the public in this respect; and, if so, when may the introduction of such legislation be expected?

Mr. BURNS

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am considering the question of legislation on the subject and hope to lay proposals before Parliament at an early date.
