§ 49. Mr. O. LEWISasked the Minister of Health when any sample of imported dried milk was last analysed by his Department?
§ Miss LAWRENCEThe enforcement of the Regulations relating to dried milk is undertaken by local authorities and not by my Department. The returns received from the local authorities show that 193 samples—including both home produced and imported—were analysed by public analysts during 1930. In addition to these, 38 samples of imported dried milk were analysed by the Government chemist during the 12 months ended 31st March last.
§ Mr. SMITHERSAre there any regulations to ensure that this milk is inspected at definite periods?
§ Miss LAWRENCEThe inspection is in the hands of the local authority.
Viscountess ASTORDoes not the hon. Lady think that the best way to do away with the use of this dried milk would be for herself and the Government to undertake a "Drink more Milk" campaign?
