Mr Aneurin Bevan

The Ice Cream (Heat Treatment, etc.) Regulations, 1947, which were made on 2nd April, are a revise of the draft published in 1946. I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.

Can the Minister give an assurance that the orders fulfil the recommendations made to him by the local authorities, particularly on the definition of the words "quality" and "purity."

I will have a look at them.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
