HC Deb 07 April 1965 vol 710 c78W
63. Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what arrangements he is making to ensure that consumers have freedom to choose milk which has not been sterilised at ultrahigh temperatures when the sale of ultrahigh temperature-treated milk is permitted.

Mr. Hoy

The present regulations require the special designation under which heat-treated milk is sold by retail to be identifiable by conspicuous and legible labelling or marking of the container. In the event of fresh regulations to provide for a new designation we would expect to follow this precedent.

We have no power to require a dairyman to supply any particular kind of milk.
