HC Deb 01 December 1943 vol 395 cc364-5
66. Mr. Banfield

asked the Minister of Food whether there is any evidence in the possession of his Department to show that there is any increase in the prevalence of rope in bakeries as a consequence of the use of national flour; and have any reports been received from master bakers or their associations on the subject?

Mr. Mabane

My Department has no evidence that rope has been more prevalent since the introduction of national flour than in previous years. We have received no complaints on this subject recently from master bakers or their associations.
