HC Deb 02 March 1933 vol 275 cc550-1
63. Captain McEWEN

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to alter the requirement of the Ministry whereby it is laid down that the date of production must be stated on the caps of all bottles of certified milk?

Sir H. YOUNG

This matter has not been lost sight of, but, pending decisions on certain wider questions of policy, I cannot at present undertake to consider altering the relevant requirements of the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.

Captain McEWEN

Does the right hon. Gentleman not realise that the adjustment requested is a very small one, and could its adoption not be accepted?

Sir H. YOUNG

I am aware of the arguments in favour of the course which the hon. Member recommends, but, as I say, a decision at the moment would not be convenient, in view of certain wider decisions under consideration.
