§ 32. Mr. H. G. Williamsasked the Minister of Health the nature of the food-testing now being undertaken by the National Food Test Board on behalf of his Department?
§ Mr. ElliotI have no information as to the nature of the food-testing undertaken by this body. It is entirely unofficial and any tests which it may be making are certainly not undertaken on behalf of my Department.
§ Mr. WilliamsIs my right hon. Friend aware that this board is carried on from an accommodation address in Holborn and that it is issuing circulars which appear to be almost of a blackmailing nature, and in the interests of the general community and the health of the community will he make further inquiries into its activities, which appear to be most undesirable?
§ Mr. ElliotI do not think it comes within my province to make further inquiries. It is an entirely unofficial body, and it is for others to take such steps.
