HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 c1072W
Mr. G. BARKER

asked the Minister of Health if he has received a copy of the resolution passed by the Abertillery Urban District Council requesting the Government to introduce a Bill to make illegal the practice common among the vendors of accepting from customers unused bread in exchange for fresh, and that it is the opinion of the council that this practice provides means of spreading contagion and infection and is prejudicial to the health of the community; and will he take steps to prohibit this practice?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not appear to have received any communication on this subject from the Abertillery Urban District Council. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the Noble Marquess the Member for Newark (Marquess of Titchfield) on the 13th June.

Forward to
