HC Deb 01 May 1940 vol 360 c713
52. 52. Mr. Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what decision has been reached with reference to standard bread?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I presume that my hon. and learned Friend refers to whole meal bread, supplies of which can always be obtained by members of the public who prefer this type of bread.

Mr. Lyons

Is it not a fact that my hon. Friend made a statement to a number of Press representatives the other day that standard bread was under consideration by the Ministry, and that he hoped to make a statement soon, and is there any foundation for the belief that standard bread will be officially introduced?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I said, as I have often said, that every means of improving our food supplies is always under consideration.
