§ 56. Mr. Leachasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, as representing the Ministry of Food, whether white flour unadulterated with vitamin B and calcium salt will be available after the fortified white flour is put on the market; and whether the fortified white flour will be labelled to show that chalk and a chemical substance have been mixed with it?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe decision announced on behalf of the Government in the House on 18th July last concerned the addition of vitamin B1 and a calcium salt to white flour used for bread making. No decision has yet been reached on the question of similarly fortifying all white flour.
Major Lloyd GeorgeIf the decision was that all white flour should be so fortified, it would not arise, but if some white flour is not fortified, then a label would probably be desirable.
