§ 47. Mr. Asshetonasked the Minister of Food whether he will take steps to remove the ban on wrapping bread.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe ban only relates to wrapping by machine in specially prepared paper, and must still be retained because waxed paper is scarce. There is nothing to prevent bread being wrapped in ordinary paper at the time of sale, and I should encourage the practice, so far as supplies permit.
§ Mr. AsshetonIs the hon. Lady hopeful that the ban on the other kinds of wrapping will soon be removed?
§ Dr. SummerskillParaffin wax is needed for wax wrapping, and that means dollar expenditure. I am hoping that there will be more of the other paper very soon.
