HC Deb 06 February 1930 vol 234 c2118W
Mr. O. LEWIS

asked the Minister of Health what steps his Department take to ascertain whether the various forms of preserved milk which are imported into this country are produced under hygienic conditions and to determine whether they contain anything which renders them undesirable as a form of food?

Mr. GREENWOOD

A few years ago my Department sent a special Commission to Holland and Denmark to ascertain the conditions under which the preserved milk imported from those countries is produced. Information has also been obtained on the occasion of visits, and otherwise, as to the conditions of production in other countries. Imported preserved milks are sampled by Customs officers and by officers of local authorities and are analysed by the Government chemist and the public analysts.
