HC Deb 16 December 1957 vol 580 cc16-7
2. Mr. Marquand

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to ensure that all mothers are made aware of the desirability of their taking orange juice during pregnancy and of providing it for their young children.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Mr. Richard Thompson)

I am sending the right hon. Gentleman a copy.
