§ Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the representation made by the Carmarthenshire county council urging the introduction of a scheme for the supply of free 2470W milk to persons suffering from silicosis; and what reply he has made to the proposal?
§ Miss HorsbrughYes, Sir. My right hon. Friend has informed the county council, who proposed to undertake the supply, that he knows of no powers under which they could make such a provision. My right hon. Friend has, however, referred the general question to the Food Rationing (Special Diets) Advisory Committee appointed by the Medical Research Council.
