§ 56. Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of the waste of waxed paper used for wrapping sliced loaves in Scotland; that this waste is resented among patriotic bakers there; and whether he will take steps to have this waste discontinued?
§ Mr. BoothbyAllegations that the wrapping and slicing of loaves lead to waste are already under detailed investigation.
§ Mr. GibsonWill the Parliamentary Secretary consider the fact that the wrapping paper is made necessary only because of the practice of cutting the bread into slices; and is he aware that bakers would give up the practice if it were not for the attitude of the nominee of the milling combines?
§ Mr. BoothbyThat is a point which we are investigating.
