HC Deb 21 December 1927 vol 212 c401
47. Dr. V. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health if, in his next Annual Report of the Ministry of Health he will draw attention to the advisability of seeing that analyses, under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, should primarily be for the purpose of detecting adulteration in the common articles of diet amongst the poor, and that, where past experience shows an adulteration of over 5 per cent. of the samples analysed of these articles of diet, it would be of advantage to the public health if a larger number of samples were analysed

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend will consider whether any advice can usefully be given in this matter.
