HC Deb 18 November 1954 vol 533 cc54-5W
69. Mr. F. Willey

asked the Minister of Education what steps he is taking to ensure that adequate attention is paid to the teaching of food hygiene in schools.

Mr. Vosper

Direct instruction in the importance of food hygiene is commonly given as part of the teaching of housecraft and related subjects in schools and in training colleges, especially the domestic science colleges. The Ministry's handbook on health education includes a chapter on "The hygiene of food and drink."
