HC Deb 16 October 1968 vol 770 cc113-4W
Mr. Will Owen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, whether, in view of the growing practice of allowing farm workers to consume untreated milk, he will seek to provide some form of supervision; and if he will institute an inquiry.

Mr. Hoy

No. I am not aware of any growth in the consumption of untreated milk by farm workers or others. The Milk and Dairies Regulations already make extensive provision for the supervision of the production, treatment, handling and storage of milk on farms and for action by medical officers of health where infection is suspected.
