76. Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Health whether it is his intention to raise the standard of undesignated milk in the matter of bacteria content to that of milk supplied under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936, namely, tuberculin tested, certified, tuberculin tested, accredited, pasteurised, and thus remove a potent source of human disease in milk supplied by the Milk Marketing Board?
§ Mr. ElliotI would refer the hon. Member to the Government's proposals for promoting the cleanliness and safety of the milk supply incorporated in the Milk Industry Bill introduced yesterday.
Mr. AdamsDo I understand that the Minister is aware of the very high bacteria content of undesignated milk which has been supplied to the public?
§ Mr. ElliotI think all these questions had better be discussed during the consideration of the Bill.
