HC Deb 04 November 1948 vol 457 c92W
23. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce legislation making it compulsory for handlers of food to be examined periodically to ascertain that they are not carriers of disease such as paratyphoid.

Mr. Bevan

I am afraid the very elaborate arrangements which would be needed are at present impracticable, nor am I advised that the present state of our knowledge would justify them.
