§ 20. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that machine-skimmed condensed milk, which is unfit for consumption by infants, is being imported in increasing quantities; and whether, if investigations show that this milk is injurious 1003 to invalids and healthy people, he will take steps to prohibit its importation?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am aware of the increase in the imports of machine-skimmed condensed milk. The absence of milk fat renders this article unsuitable for infants, but I am advised that its constituents, so far from being injurious, are of high nutritional value for ordinary food purposes, and I see no sufficient reason for prohibiting its importation.
