§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Minister of Health when the two codes of key principles recommended by the Food Hygiene Council will be implemented; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonTwo food hygiene codes of practice, each of ten points, have been prepared, one for housewives and one for food trade workers. Comments on them are now being received from the trade and women's organisations that were represented at a recent meeting to discuss food hygiene education and publicity. When these comments have been considered, the views of the Food Hygiene 203W Advisory Council will again be sought. The codes will then be published by the Central Council for Health Education, and it is expected that local authorities will begin to distribute them in the spring.
