§ 27. Lieut.-Colonel WINDSOR-CLIVEasked the Minister of Health what precautions he is taking to ensure that all dairy products imported into this country are produced under the same sanitary conditions as are imposed on similar products which are produced in this country?
Sir H. YOUNGImported milk is subject to special bacteriological conditions which do not apply to home-produced milk. In addition, all imported articles of food are subject to examination at the port of entry to ensure that they are not diseased or otherwise unfit for human consumption.
§ Mr. T. WILLIAMSIs it not the case that, on the evidence available, some imported dairy products are more satisfactory in this respect?
Sir H. YOUNGNo; I have no evidence to establish that. If the hon. Member is in possession of evidence which he thinks establishes it, I shall be very much interested to see it.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSHas the right hon. Gentleman read the Hopkins Report? If not, will he look at it?
