HC Deb 29 July 1943 vol 391 c1814W
Major Lyons

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is satisfied that the milk supplied to schoolchildren is clean and of good quality; and what steps are taken to have periodical tests?

Mr. Butler

Under the Milk in Schools Scheme, milk may only be supplied by persons who have been approved by the Medical Officer of Health on the ground of the source and quality of their supply. It rests with the medical officer of health to determine what periodical tests or other evidence he should require for the purpose of his approval.
