HC Deb 24 October 1940 vol 365 cc1142-3
58. Mr. Mander

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the fact that white bread is largely deficient in vitamins, and is often baked with alkaline bleaches, thereby destroying what vitamins remain, he will consider the advisability of arranging for the supply to the public of highly extracted bread enriched with yeast and added vitamin concentrates?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Major Lloyd George)

Bread made from high extraction flour is freely available to meet public demand, and my Noble Friend does not consider it necessary to add to the vitamins already present in such flour.
