HC Deb 20 August 1945 vol 413 c280W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the figures recently furnished showing the incidence of tuberculosis attributable to infected milk, he will immediately make compulsory the provision of pasteurised or otherwise adequately sterilised milk for children at school and introduce legislation requiring all milk for home consumption to be pasteurised.

Mr. A. Bevan

I understand that as regards school milk a high proportion is now either heat-treated or tuberculin tested. I am consulting my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food with regard to what further action can be taken respecting the supply of adequately heat-treated milk.
