HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 cc1299-300W
Major Carver

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of recent criticism of non-vitaminised margarine, any investigation has been carried out by his Department into the nutritive value of margarine that has or has not been vitaminised; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Sir K. Wood

No special investigation by my Department has been made or is contemplated at present. The matter has already been considered by the Advisory Committee on Nutrition, who has recommended that, where margarine is used, it should be vitaminised, and this recommendation has been conveyed to local authorities.
