asked the Minister of Health whether he has received a copy of the Report on custard and egg powders which has been presented to the Mon-mouthshire County Council by the president of the National Analysts' Association; and whether, in view of the fact that these powders are in the main dyed starch and that six eggs to the ton is sufficient to comply with the law, he proposes to take any action?

Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend has received a copy of the Report. He has no power to lay down any rules as to the composition of custard and egg powders so long as they are not injurious to health.
