§ Major Markhamasked the Minister of Food whether in connection with social insurance, it is proposed to continue in the post-war years the existing arrangements by which pregnant women, nursing mothers and children up to school age can obtain essential supplies of milk and vitamins which have contributed so effectively to maintaining the health of mothers and children during the war.
§ Mr. MabaneNo change is contemplated in the Welfare Foods schemes as at present administered so long as food shortages continue and consumption of liquid milk by the general public is restricted. Consideration is being given to the best means of ensuring that the special needs of children and pregnant and nursing mothers will be met when liquid milk and other essential foods are again in ample supply.
