HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 c547
87. Mr. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any agreement has been arrived at between the advisory committee and English flour millers at the recent International Wheat Conference to restrict the number of loaves to 92 per sack of flour; and whether he is taking any action in the matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No, Sir. I understand that the question of the percentage extraction of flour from wheat is one of the subjects which have been under the consideration of the International Wheat Advisory Committee, but I am not aware that any definite conclusion has been reached.
