HC Deb 10 May 1922 vol 153 c2170
39. Mr. DOYLE

asked the Minister of Health whether ho has yet taken any, and, if so, what steps to deal with the question of the sale of impure milk in Newcastle-on-Tyne, wherein it is stated on official authority that in the analysis and bacteriological examination of samples recently taken approximately 50 per cent, showed really serious pollution; and whether this serious menace to the health of the citizens will receive immediate attention and drastic treatment?

Sir A. MOND

As I promised last week, a medical officer of my Department is now visiting Newcastle, and is inquiring into this matter.

Sir J. RANDLES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether there is any Grade A milk available in the North of England suitable for this area?

Sir A. MOND

I could not answer that without notice.
