HC Deb 30 July 1951 vol 491 c926
4. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Food to what extent lithium chloride is used in Britain as a substitute for salt or in baking bread or confectionery.

Mr. F. Willey

From the inquiries I have made I have no reason to believe that any lithium chloride is used in Britain as a substitute for salt in food products, or in bread baking or confectionery manufacture.

Dr. Stross

In view of the fact that it has been used in other countries, with a very bad result, including some deaths, will my hon. Friend keep his eye on this substance and forbid its introduction if he sees any signs of its being introduced?

Mr. Willey

Yes, Sir.
