HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 c195W
34. Wing-Commander Robinson

asked the Minister of Food whether he will take powers to define a minimum chemical standard for ice cream of at least 4 per cent. fat content while retaining powers to review this standard when more fat products are available

Mr. Strachey

I should like to fix a minimum standard for ice cream; but I think this must waif until the supply of the necessary ingredients has improved. For one thing I should not like to start with so low a standard as that referred to by the hon. Member and also fat is not the only important ingredient in good ice cream.
