§ 42. Mr. THORNEasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that some bacon imported from America is cured in a solution of borax for preservation in transit; and what steps are taken by his Department to ensure that bacon so cured is not harmful to the health of the consumer?
§ Mr. E. BROWNThe importation of bacon cured with borax is prohibited under the Preservatives Regulations. My right hon. Friend is not aware of any recent contravention of the Regulations in this respect but if the hon. Member will give him any particulars in his possession inquiries will be made.
