asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether it is proposed to include a proportion of oatmeal flour in the national loaf?

Mr. Mabane

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Boothby

When does the Ministry propose to do this?

Mr. Mabane

I could not say without notice.

Would it not be better to put barley into bread instead of beer?

There is no beer in the national loaf.
