HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c151W
104. Mr. Cuthbert

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that in many rural schools milk is provided for the children which has not been tuberculin tested; and whether he will ensure that this practice is stopped.

Mr. Tomlinson

My aim is to provide under the milk in schools scheme pasteurised or tuberculin tested milk for all schools. In co-operation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food I have succeeded in providing these types of milk except for about 2½ per cent. of the total supplies in England and Wales. All milk supplies under the scheme have to be approved by the local medical officer of health.
