§ Mrs. FyfeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy that new-born babies should be tested for allergy to cows' milk; and what investigation she has conducted into such a proposal.
§ Mr. SackvilleWe have no plans to develop a policy to test new babies for allergy to cows' milk. Their risk of allergy may be assessed from their family history of allergic disorder. Breast feeding is recommended for all babies and this is of particular importance for babies at risk of allergic disorder.
