HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 cc236-7
69. Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Health whether any regulations affecting the type of bread which can be sold to the public for consumption are prescribed by the Governments of France, Italy and any other European countries?

Miss LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend has obtained some information with regard to regulations bearing on this matter in France, Italy and Holland, a copy of which he is sending to the hon. and gallant Member. My right hon. Friend is making further inquiries upon the subject.

Mr. EVERARD

Is it not a fact that in those countries they lay down a rule that a certain percentage of flour obtained from their own wheat should be used? Why not in this country?
