HC Deb 04 November 1948 vol 457 c93W
80. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the number of cases of food poisoning recently reported, he is satisfied that existing legislation and regulations are adequate to deal with the manufacture and sale of impure and unclean foods.

Mr. Bevan

So far as this can be controlled by regulation, there are already wide powers. Whether further practical measures can usefully be taken is actively engaging the attention of my Department in conjunction with the Ministry of Food.
