HC Deb 12 November 1974 vol 881 c51W
16. Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will remove restrictions on the sale of proprietary baby foods in health clinics and ensure that national dried milk is available in all maternity hospitals.

Dr. Owen

National dried milk is available at clinics and at any maternity hospital which orders it. The sale of proprietary baby foods continues at clinics which were selling them at the time of the reorganisation of the NHS in April as a convenience to mothers who were accustomed to buy them there.
