HC Deb 16 November 1927 vol 210 c1057W
Viscount SANDON

asked the Minister of Health whether his expert advisers have examined, and will issue a Report on, the relative figure value as to vitamin A of sheep and oxen liver fats and the best butter for children?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The occurrence of vitamin A in a variety of foods, including ox and pig liver and butter, is dealt with in the "Report on the present State of Knowledge of Accessory Food Factors (Vitamins)" issued by the Medical Research Council. The Report does not contain any specific reference to sheep's liver, but I am advised that there is no reason to suppose that this article would differ materially from ox liver.
