§ Mr. LAWTHERasked the Minister of Health if any examinations of samples of pasteurised milk by any public authorities have shown evidence of living germs of tuberculosis?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI understand that some samples of milk alleged to have been pasteurised have been found by local authorities to contain tubercle bacillus.
§ Mr. LAWTHERasked the Minister of Health what examinations, if any, have been taken of samples of certified and T.T. (Grade A) milks by public authorities; and if such samples have shown any evidence of living germs of tuberculosis?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThese milks are not examined for tubercle bacillus, as a matter of routine, and I cannot say how many samples have been so examined. I have reports of a few instances in which tubercle bacillus has been found in the milks.
§ Mr. LAWTHERasked the Minister of Health if any examinations which have been made of tuberculous material showed the presence of bovine tubercle bacillus in children who have been brought up entirely on pasteurised milk?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am not aware of any examinations which have shown the presence of bovine tubercle bacillus in such children.
