HC Deb 03 November 1943 vol 393 c682W
Mr. Leach

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what evidence against pasteurisation of milk his Department considered before the issue of the recent White Paper?

Mr. Mabane

Consultations were held with representatives of the medical profession, milk producers and milk distributors and representations were also received from other interests including those who are opposed to pasteurisation. The policy set out in Command Paper 6454, was only adopted after a full consideration of all the facts available and the arguments advanced.
