§ 3. Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make regulations so that the seller of milk bread which does not contain milk must disclose this fact.
§ Mr. SoamesI am at present considering the whole question of the use of the description milk bread. I have already circulated draft regulations and received a number of representations on them. I shall want to consider these carefully before arriving at a final decision.
§ Mr. de FreitasIn considering this matter, will the Minister recognise that on this occasion the producers and the consumers have come out early enough in pressing upon the Minister the importance of the maintenance of standards and that, if something is described as milk, it should be milk as we understand it in ordinary parlance?
§ Mr. SoamesA number of representations have been made to me and the point that the hon. Member has made is one of them. I will consider them all before making a final announcement.
