HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c273W
82. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that 25 per cent. of the samples of ice cream recently taken were unsatisfactory and a further 25 per cent. only fair; and if he will now consider laying down legally-enforceable standards regarding its purity as well as its contents.

Mr. Bevan

I am advised that recent bacteriological tests are showing improvement. I am still not satisfied that there is any test reliable enough to justify its use as a legal test, non-compliance with which would constitute an offence.
