§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Health, in view of the danger to infant welfare from the unfit food that is imported as machine-skimmed milk, whether he will consider proposals to prohibit the import by imposing a minimum fat standard?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYUnder the Public Health (Condensed Milk) Regulations, 1923, condensed machine-skimmed milk is required to be labelled as "unfit for babies." I see no reason for prohibiting its importation, as I am advised that, though the removal of fat renders it unsuitable for feeding babies, it is not an unwholesome food and may properly be included in mixed dietaries?
