HC Deb 18 March 1957 vol 567 c11
17. Mr. Crouch

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to receive the Report of the Food Standards Committee on improving the quality of ice cream.

Mr. Amory

I regret that I cannot say when its Report will be available.

Mr. Crouch

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the public is very disturbed since he told this House about a fortnight ago that ice cream contained about 65 per cent. water and that they feel it should contain a very much greater percentage of milk products?

Mr. Amory

I am not sure about the public feeling so disturbed; the consumption of ice cream does not show their disturbance to be very great.
