HC Deb 27 November 1968 vol 774 c133W
98. Mr. Edward Lyons

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation to enable local authorities to enforce the pasteurisation of all milk used in catering premises.

Mr. John Mackie

No. About 97 per cent. of our milk is already heat treated, but some catering premises, including farmhouses, in the more remote rural areas lack access to a regular supply of pasteurised milk, while others undertake to meet special consumer demand for untreated milk.
