HC Deb 22 November 1916 vol 87 c1422
81. Mr. PARTINGTON

asked whether national bread in France contains maize-flour and rice-flour; and, if so, in what proportions?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The wheaten flour now used in making bread in France is required to contain not less than 80 per cent. of the weight of the wheat. The admixture of flour other than wheat flour is not compulsory, but is permitted on condition that bread made from such mixed flours is sold under a name accurately describing its nature.
