HC Deb 03 May 1948 vol 450 c95W
33. Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Food why information concerning changes in the distribution of proprietary infant foods was withheld so as to pre vent pharmacists or the general public from obtaining advance information of this impending change.

Dr. Summerskill

Full details of these changes were given to the Press by my right hon. Friend, at his conference on 20th April, five days before they were to take effect. At the same time local food offices were instructed to advise all pharmacists and retailers of the impending change.
