§ 41. Mr. Toucheasked the Minister of Food whether his attention has been called to the statements made at an inquest at Hull recently regarding the effects of the agenisation of flour; and whether he will make a statement on the subject.
§ Mr. F. WilleyI am aware that certain allegations were made which were controverted by expert evidence at the inquest. Recently, a scientific committee reviewed the subject of flour improvers but was unable to find any 650 evidence that agenised flour is in any way toxic to man.
