Sir William Davison
, Kensington South
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of the public uncertainty and different views as to whether or not any deterioration of foodstuffs in tins which have been stored for a considerable time can easily be detected when the tins are opened, or whether deterioration dangerous to health may be imperceptible to eye, nose or tongue; and whether he can give any guidance to the public in this matter?
