HC Deb 13 November 1930 vol 244 c1874W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Health whether, seeing that no precautions are taken to see that cream imported into this country is free from tuberculosis, he will take steps to see that it is subjected to similar examination for tubercle as milk is under the Imported Milk Regulations?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I will consider the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion. I understand, however, that most of the cream imported from the Continent is sterilised, and I am advised that the danger of the presence of tubercle bacilli in such cream is practically negligible.
