Abstract
GRADING of milk was introduced in Great Britain in 1923. Producers who conformed to certain rules and attained certain standards for the milk they supplied were given the right to apply certain statutory names to their products. It was expected that both the public and the producers would benefit, the former by obtaining a more hygienic milk supply, the latter by an increased commercial return—hopes not altogether realised. After consideration and consultation respecting the working of the Order during the past seven years, the Minister of Health has decided to institute a new “Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936”1, which came into operation on June 1.
