§ 56. Brigadier-General Clifton Brownasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that, owing to the new milk regulations being put into force in rural areas, many of the dairymen can no longer supply their customers with accredited raw milk and consumers must arrange for pasteurised milk which they do not believe in; and how he proposes to prevent any injurious results of the abolition of small dairymen in country districts.
§ The Minister of Food (Colonel Llewellin)I regret that I am not sure what my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind, but I should be glad to investigate any particular cases if he will let me know of them.
Brigadier-General BrownWhile thanking my right hon. and gallant Friend for his reply, may I ask what is the good of having a standard of accredited milk, and then making it impossible for dairymen to sell it? Would it not be better to enforce the regulations?
§ Colonel LlewellinI do not think anything we have done makes it impossible for dairymen to sell accredited milk.
§ Mrs. TateIs not the production of accredited milk often rendered farcical, as that milk is often ruined by pasteurisation?
