HC Deb 30 May 1946 vol 423 c212W
9. Major Symonds

asked the Minister of Education what arrangements she is making, to ensure the purity of milk sup- plies when the milk for schools scheme is extended; and if all such milk is to be pasteurised.

Miss Wilkinson

Under the Provision of Milk and Meals Regulations, 1945, the source and quality of school milk must be approved by the medical officer of health. The Ministry of Food arranges wherever possible for schools to receive heat treated or Tuberculin Tested milk in accordance with the policy laid down in the White Paper " Measures to Improve the Quality of the Nation's Milk Supply."
