HC Deb 04 November 1937 vol 328 cc1131-2W
Mr. Cartland

asked the Minister of Health whether, among other measures to be laid before the House of Commons, alluded to in the Gracious Speech from the Throne, there will be one to give effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on the composition and description of food which reported in 1934; and whether the Committee on the Consolidation of Local Government and Public Health Law has now prepared such a Bill?

Sir K. Wood

I do not propose to introduce special legislation, but I understand that the Committee on the Consolidation of Local Government and Public Health Law have had the recommendations referred to in mind and that their report on the law relating to food, together with a draft Bill, is likely to be presented to me about the end of the year.
