HC Deb 30 June 1927 vol 208 cc550-1
19. Mr. HURD

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the imports of skimmed condensed milk in the first five months of the year were the approximate equivalent of 25¾ million gallons of liquid milk; and what measures he proposes to take for the more effective protection of the child population from this unsuitable form of food?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelmsford (Lieut.-Colonl Howard-Bury) on the 23rd instant.

Mr. HURD

When does the right hon. Gentleman think he will be in a position to inform the House as to the measures he proposes to take to meet this need?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I think it will not be very long.
