§ Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, seeing that milk-blended butter is merely a butter which has been rechurned with milk so as to cause it to retain up to 24 per cent, of water, and that many ill-informed persons are induced by this description to buy at a high price a comparatively worthless article which is not butter at all, he will by his proposed Pure Food Bill repeal Sub-section (2) of Section 4 of the Butter and Margarine Act, 1907, which permits the sale of butter of this water-loaded product?
§ Mr. BURNSThe enactment referred to was based on the recommendation of the Select Committee which inquired very fully into this subject in 1906, and I am not suggesting its repeal in my Bill.
