HC Deb 22 October 1912 vol 42 c1927
78. Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he favours proposals for organising in this country, as in the United States, a milk supply that is certified as free from dirt, disease, antiseptics, and added preservatives; and, if so, whether, following the recommendations of Sir Thomas Barlow's Committee, he will consider the desirability of constituting a proper authority to certify the milk of those dairy farmers who desire such certification?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am aware of the proposals of the Committee to which the hon. Member refers, and I will confer with my right hon. Friend the President of the Local Government Board on the subject.
