HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 cc1400-1W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Minister of Health whether, as the Ministry's Circular No. 1840 provides that the quality of milk supplied for young children and infants shall be approved by the medical officer of health, he can give an assurance that medical officers will not approve any milk supplied under this scheme for young children that cannot be certified to be entirely free of tubercle and other harmful bacilli?
