§ 6. Mr. Cledwyn Hughesasked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to prevent the sale of low grade ice cream in the County of Anglesey.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThe Foods Standards (Ice Cream) Order, 1951, established a minimum standard of composition for ice cream. Administration of the Order is the responsibility of local food and drugs authorities.
§ Mr. HughesIn view of the very unsatisfactory position with regard to the sale of ice cream in the country generally, would the Minister consider framing new regulations governing its manufacture?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThe standards are very carefully laid down, and there is ample power within local authorities to see that the standards are maintained. I have no evidence, to date at any rate, that this is not so.
