Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the large and increasing numbers of children previously living in large centres of population where much of the milk had been rendered safe by pasteurisation who are 1170W being transferred to rural areas where pasteurisation is non-existent or at a minimum, he will officially circularise those responsible for the health of these children that all milk they consume must first be sterilised by boiling?
Mr. M. MacDonaldAn announcement with regard to the desirability of boiling all milk that has not been pasteurised or sterilised was recently issued by my right hon. and Noble Friend the Minister of Food. I will consider with him whether any further publicity can usefully be given to this aspect of the matter.
