HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 c1784
35. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Food what amount of potatoes, measured in tons, has been used in the manufacture of flour for bread and similar products during the month of May, 1947.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Dr. Edith Summerskill)

I regret that we have no statistics on this subject. The quantity of potatoes used in this way is negligible. There is, of course, no potato in national flour.
