HC Deb 21 May 1962 vol 660 c15W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if it will be possible to use the material prepared but never used to alert the public of the dangers to young children from milk following the Russian nuclear tests should dangerous levels be reached following the present tests.

Mr. Powell:

Yes.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the total of stocks of processed milk available for issue to babies under 1 year old if the level of risk from the United States nuclear test fall-out is reached; how soon after notification distribution could be operated; and how long these stocks would last.

Mr. Powell:

About three weeks' stocks could be distributed immediately.
