§ 65. Mr. HURDasked the Minister of Health why the confirmation and signature of the Order for the standards of condensed milk are still being delayed; whether he is aware that the importation of skimmed condensed milk unfit for infants tends to increase week by week, while the importation and consumption of full-cream condensed milk falls; and whether, in view of the coming flush milk season, he will in the interests of public health and of British production cause this reform to be completed forthwith, in pursuance of the legislation passed last year?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI hope to be in a position to issue the Regulations to which my hon. Friend refers in the course of the next few days.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIt has been necessary to carry on some correspondence with the Canadian authorities, and also to obtain agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and my Department. I think that that has caused the delay.
