§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health, in view of the proposed extension of the milk-in-schools scheme, and especially in regard to the larger volume of milk which will be supplied to young children, what steps it is proposed to take 2122W to ensure that the milk supplied for this scheme shall be free of tubercle and other infections or else treated in such a way as to render it safe; and whether he can give an assurance that in no case will young children be obliged to drink milk under these schemes that is not either pure or safe?
§ Mr. ElliotThe recent scheme for the supply of milk to nursing and expectant mothers and children under five years provides that the source and quality of the milk supplied must be approved by the medical officer of health of the welfare authority.
