§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether his attention has been called to the sale of a bottled drink, the name of which has been sent to him, the label on which describes it as being a non-alcoholic port-flavoured beverage; and whether, in view of the fact that the contents smell and taste of pear drops and have no resemblance in either sense to port, he will consider taking action in the matter under Section 6 of the Food and Drugs Act.
Mr. AmoryThe Act places on local food and drugs authorities the duty of taking proceedings for alleged infringements of Section 6. I will however bring the matter to the attention of the authority concerned.
