HC Deb 02 June 1943 vol 390 cc202-3
56. Mr. Leach

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that in some American cities no milk older than 24 hours may be pasteurised and no pasteurised milk older than 30 hours may be sold; and whether he is prepared to introduce similar regulations here?

Mr. Mabane

No, Sir, I regret that I have not information such as my hon. Friend mentions, but if he will supply me with particulars, I will have them examined, although I am afraid that the conditions in the two countries are not comparable.

Mr. Leach

Does the hon. Member not realise the need of supplying the public with fresh milk?

Mr. Mabane

Certainly, Sir.
