HC Deb 25 March 1943 vol 387 c1753
37. Mr. Salt

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the conflicting policies which still obtain in regard to the pasteurisation of milk supplies in Great Britain, he will institute a comprehensive inquiry to establish a final settlement of the issues at stake in the light of all available scientific and economic evidence?

Mr. E. Brown

No Sir. I am advised that the facts are well known, and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the course suggested.

Mr. Purbrick

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an undertaking that pasteurisation will not be made compulsory?

Mr. Brown

I can give no undertaking of that kind.
