"I suggest that the Maternity Committee should give notice to
every retailer in the district that on and after a certain date, approximately
six (or twelve) months hence, all milk supplied to persons
under the Maternity and Child Welfare Act must consist of Grade
' A ' (Tuberculin Tested) Milk, that in the meantime the Medical
Officer should ascertain from the retailers the names and addresses
of their respective wholesalers, and that all the wholesalers be
similarly informed. I further suggest that, with a view to increasing
the supply of Grade ' A ' (Tuberculin Tested) milk, and of proportionatel
reducing its cost, a Conference be summoned by the Bermondsey
Borough Council of representatives of all the Maternity and
Child Welfare Committees of the Metropolis and of Greater London,
asking them to take similar action with the object of applying
collective pressure to the wholesalers and producers."
We agree with the views expressed by Alderman Salter and
recommend—
(a) That notice be sent to all milk retailers supplying milk to
the Council, and to all wholesale dealers who supply such
retailers, that after the 30th June, 1925, all milk supplied
to the Council for the purposes of the Maternity and
Child Welfare Act must consist of Grade " A " (Tuberculin
Tested) milk. [Adopted
(b) That with a view to increasing the supply of Grade " A "
(Tuberculin Tested) milk and of proportionately reducing
its cost, the Local Authorities of the Metropolis (Metropolitan
Borough Councils, County Boroughs, Municipal
Boroughs and Urban District Councils) be invited to
attend a conference to be held here on Friday, 14th
November, 1924, at 7 p.m., each authority to be represented
by two members and its Medical Officer of Health.
[Amended
Resolved —That recommendations (a) (b) of the Committee be
adopted subject to recommendation (b) being amended by deleting
" on Friday, 14th November, 1924, at 7 p.m." and inserting " on
a date to be arranged by the Committee,"
