HC Deb 26 March 1914 vol 60 cc543-4
44. Mr. ASTOR

asked whether at present any control is exercised by the Board over the use of such descriptions as invalids' milk, nursery milk, milk from cows free from tuberculosis, and certified milk, which are usually offered for sale at prices exceeding the price of ordinary milk?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. ASTOR

Is there any reason to believe that the milk sold under those names is either pure or safe?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I cannot express an opinion upon the matter. I do not think that there has been any exhaustive inquiry into the question, and I do not think any tests have been made by any official authority.
