§ Sir A. WILSONasked the Minister of Health if he has any information as to whether infection from tuberculosis may be derived from imported butter, cheese, and milk-blended margarine as well as from milk; and whether he is satisfied with the precautions taken to prevent infection from this source?
Sir H. YOUNGI am advised that the danger of infection with tuberculosis from dairy products made from pasteurised milk or cream is negligible. I understand that practically all the milk and cream used in the preparation of imported butter and margarine is pasteurised, but I cannot say what proportion of imported cheese is made from pasteurised milk.
