UNPASTEURISED MILK

Early day motion 524, tabled 28 November 1997 by Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 27 members.

That this House is concerned at Government proposals to ban unpasteurised milk; notes the stringent standards to which unpasteurised milk is produced; recognises that containers of all such milk are clearly and explicitly labelled to ensure the public is fully aware of what it is buying; acknowledges that the public has a right to choose the kind of milk it drinks; and urges the Government to review its proposals in respect of unpasteurised milk and report fully on any evidence of unpasteurised milk as a threat to public health.
