§ Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Minister of Health what number of producers of certified milk, having held licences under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923, for the period of two years ended 30th September, 1932, have had negative results upon test for bacillus 343W coli in one-tenth in respect of each and all of the samples taken during such period; and, of these producers, how many have secured an average bacterial count per c.c. of less than 5,000 and less than 1,500, respectively, in respect of all samples taken during such period?
Sir H. YOUNGI regret that I am unable to give the information asked for by my hon. Friend as such data are not required for any administrative purpose, and their extraction from the records would involve a large amount of clerical labour which I should hesitate to sanction in present circumstances.
