§ Sir C. CAYZERasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the recent report of the Walsall Borough analyst with regard to imported cream sold in tins, which is stated in such report to contain only 22 per cent. of butter-fat as against the usual 50 per cent. in fresh cream; and whether he will consider the introduction at an early date of regulations to provide that all tinned cream shall bear a label stating the precise butter-fat content of the cream therein?
Sir H. YOUNGI am aware of the report referred to. I have no power to make regulations for the purpose suggested, but I have taken note of the matter in connection with other representations which have been made as to the composition and labelling of articles of food.
