HC Deb 12 July 1928 vol 219 c2464
30. Commander WILLIAMS (for Sir CLIVE MORRISON-BELL)

asked the Minister of Health the amount of condensed machine-skimmed milk imported into this country during each of the months of the present year; and whether there have been any cases where such importations have not been properly labelled unfit for babies?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I understand that the amounts of condensed machine-skimmed milk imported into this country during each of the first six months of the present year were as follow:

Cwts.
January 152,040
February 123,449
March 155,457
April 181,608
May 181,416
June 170,173
I am informed that there were no cases in which the importations were not labelled Unfit for Babies.

Commander WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell the House what reason he has to think that this milk is really as good milk for ordinary human beings as British milk?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question on the Paper.
