§ 78. Mr. McSHANEasked the Minister of Health if he will state the total number of prosecutions for the sale of impure milk for England and Wales during 1928?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe information asked for by my hon. Friend is not available, but I may say that the total number of samples of milk reported as adulterated or net up to standard in 1928 was 5,542, being 8.2 per cent. of the samples examined.
§ Mr. GREENWOODNot that I am aware of.
Mr. GUINNESSWere these samples taken at random or were they samples taken with a view to evidence being obtained for prosecutions?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNo, broadly speaking they were samples taken at random.
