§ 57. Mr. Stokesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will consider the compulsory reintroduction of wholemeal bread and the total abolition of white bread for the duration of the war?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Mr. Boothby)No, Sir; wholemeal bread is available for those who prefer it, and my Noble Friend sees no reason for placing those who would rather eat white bread in a less advantageous position.
§ Mr. StokesDoes the Parliamentary Secretary realise that if this scheme were introduced it would lead to an immediate reopening of thousands of mills all over the country, thus enabling people to be supplied locally?
