§ 26. Squadron-Leader Sir Gifford Foxasked the First Lord of the Admiralty to what extent it is intended that the R.N. should adopt the new type of high-extraction flour for making bread.
Mr. DugdaleThe new type of high extraction flour will be used in future for making bread in Naval shore establishments and in non-sea-going ships in the United Kingdom, instead of the national wheatmeal flour hitherto supplied. The use of specially dried high extraction flour for bread making in seagoing ships is being investigated.
§ Sir G. FoxAre we to understand that sea-going ships are at present being supplied with white flour?
Mr. DugdaleYes, Sir, because it is quite impossible adequately to dry the new kind of flour; otherwise, sea-going ships would have exactly the same flour as the people on shore.
