HC Deb 14 April 1932 vol 264 c983
31. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that butter imported from Soviet Russia is of the standard of purity required by the home product?

Sir H. YOUNG

Numerous samples of butter imported from Soviet Russia have been examined during recent months. The results of these examinations have shown that this butter conforms to the standard of purity required in this country.

Mr. LAMBERT

Why are regulations required for the home producer and not for the foreign importer?

Sir H. YOUNG

It is an entirely different thing; the administration is different. Home production and foreign production must be dealt with in different ways, but the provisions relating to imports are adequate to secure proper standards.
