HC Deb 21 December 1925 vol 189 c1954
72. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received application from any local authority for power to order the sealing of milk churns containing milk in transit from producer to retailer; and, if so, what action is being taken by the Department?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend has received a number of communications suggesting that a Milk and Dairies Order should be made requiring the sealing of milk churns, and he is in consultation with the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries in the matter.

Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

Has the hon. Gentleman not also received a communication from local authorities deprecating any arrangements toeing made which would prevent their taking samples at railway stations?

Sir K. WOOD

I am not aware of that, but I will inquire.
