§ Major AINSWORTHasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the existence of foot-and-mouth disease in Switzerland, he is satisfied that the large quantities of condensed milk imported into Great Britain from that country are free from contamination; and, if so, how this deduction is formed?
Mr. GUINNESSI have been asked to reply. I am informed that the process of condensing milk necessitates the maintenance for some time of temperatures which are sufficient to destroy the virus of foot-and-mouth disease.
