HC Deb 17 November 1942 vol 385 cc211-2W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Health what steps are to be taken to implement the recommendations of the Committee on Tuberculosis in War-time that the pasteurisation of milk should be extended throughout the country and that where this is not practical all milk consumed, by children should be boiled or dried milk provided?

Mr. E. Brown

I would call my hon. and gallant Friend's attention to the reply that I gave on the 15th October to my hon. Friend the Member for West Fulham (Dr. Edith Summerskill). My Noble Friend the Minister of Food with whom I am in close consultation on the subject, is taking all practicable steps to extend pasteurisation. I am in consultation also with my Noble Friend on the best allocation among children of the supplies of dried milk available.
