Here is a link to the debut speech given by Lord Nathaniel Rothschild, Pasteurization of milk speech from 10th April 1946 (source:Hansard).
Here's the TLDR version:
Raw milk contains disease (bovine tuberculosis). Drinking raw milk causes death.
Let's not waste time on statistics, let's say 1,600 people a year die from this disease.
Other diseases caused by drinking raw milk are: Undulant fever, typhoid, dysentry, food poisoning, scarlet fever, and diphtheria.
Politicians may have something to say about the merits of killing off the population each year and maintaining the economic interests of a relatively small section of the community,
Compulsory Pasteurization may have an economic cost, milk producers and milk retailers may go out of business.
Opponents of Pasteurization say heat treated milk tastes nasty. Experiments show people can not tell the difference between raw milk and Pasteurized milk.
Studies from medical, veterinary and agricultural institutions conclude that Pasteurization doesn't affect the nutritional value of milk.
Heat treatment of milk may remove minerals and vitamins from the milk.
There are existing regulations to prevent milk being contaminated with dust, blood, water, cow shit, and bacteria. Pasteurization would not remove those regulations.
There are existing processes for testing cattle for bovine tuberculosis (using Tuberculin Test which are injected under the skin). Pasteurization would not remove those health schemes.
Other objections to Pasteurization are:
it may put milk producers and milk retailers out of business, this might reduce the supply of milk.
Only towns/cities with populations over 20,000 people will be required to Pasteurize milk.
70% of milk is already Pasteurized. Any new equipment can be supplied from within the United Kingdom rather than the United States.
People that believe the earth is flat, prefer to drink raw milk. The views of uninformed cranks and eccentrics should not affect the lives and health of the rest of the population.
There are various methods of killing our dwindling population. Committees sit on things like reducing road deaths. Committees should sit on Pasteurization. Any government that does not introduce compulsory Pasteurization is responsible for the death and disease that results from people drinking raw milk.
