HC Deb 10 December 1991 vol 200 c388W
Mr. Martlew

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether from 1992 milk delivery vehicles that supply small retail outlets will be required to have milk stored in refrigerated compartments on the vehicle during transit.

Mr. Curry

The European Commission's proposals for harmonised milk hygiene standards, which are intended to come into force on 1 January 1993, would require that the temperature of pasteurised milk must not exceed 6°C during transport. Member states would be permitted to derogate from this requirement only in relation to milk delivered to the doorstep.
