asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that in the borough of Kensington and elsewhere dairymen are being prosecuted under the Public Health Acts for using derivatives of boron for the preservation of milk, although in strict compliance with the milk and cream Regulations recently issued by the Board; and whether, if these Regulations are deemed to be contrary to the provisions of an Act of Parliament, he will, in fairness to the dairymen, bring in an amending Bill to legalise such Regulations?

I am not aware of any such prosecutions, but I may point out that the Regulations prohibit the use of any preservatives in milk.
