HC Deb 04 June 1980 vol 985 cc695-6W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will mount a campaign to draw the attention of the public to the need for better hygiene standards; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

At this national level standards of hygiene are among the subjects with which the work of the Health Education Council is concerned. Leaflets and posters are available from the council for the use of health education officers in encouraging high standards of personal hygiene and of local authorities' environmental health officers in exercising their responsibilities in relation to standards of hygiene in handling food.
