§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Minister of Health whether any Report has been received by the Government from the Committee of Inquiry which has recently held an investigation on impure food; and, if so, when it is proposed to circulate it?
§ Sir K. WOODI assume that the hon. Member refers to the Departmental Committee which was appointed to inquire into the use of preservatives and colouring matters in food. This Committee presented an Interim Report on the 12th June, 1924, and their Final Report on this subject on the 30th September, 1924. Both these Reports have been published and may be obtained from the Stationery Office. The terms of reference of the Committee have now been extended so as to include the treatment of flour with chemical substances. They have not yet presented a Report on this subject.
