§ 26. Sir FRANCIS FREMANTLEasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, before approving any proposals submitted by the Milk Marketing Boards for providing milk to schools at reduced rates, the Government will satisfy themselves that such milk will be free from the risk of tuberculosis or other infections?
§ Mr. ELLIOTI understand that under present voluntary schemes the source of milk supplied to schools has to be 12 approved either by the school medical officer or by the local medical officer of health. I have no doubt that the Milk Marketing Boards will take note of existing procedure in framing the proposals which they will be submitting for approval, and I will certainly bear the point in mind myself.
§ Captain WATERHOUSEIs it not a fact that the quantity of milk containing tubercle is infinitesimal and that questions such as this do a great deal of harm to the milk industry?
§ Mr. ELLIOTHon. Members must judge that for themselves.
