§ 51. Mr. Stokesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food how much of the germ the millers are required to leave in the flour for wholemeal bread in order to achieve the desired objective?
Major Lloyd GeorgeAssuming that my hon. Friend is referring to bread made from national wheatmeal, I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to his Question of 7th August last.
§ Mr. StokesDoes not the Parliamentary Secretary recollect that he said in that reply that some germ was included in the wheat; is he aware that the germ, like the atom, is unsplittable and that the best part of the grain ought to be included in the loaf?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI am not sure that I can accept the hon. Gentleman's explanation about grain being like the atom, unsplittable, but in certain systems you cannot keep all the grain going in the correct direction. We are doing all we possibly can.
