§ Mr. HARR1SON-BROADLEYasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the fact that the law which prohibits the bleaching of flour for home consumption in the United States does not apply to flour for exportation; and 1234W whether any steps have been taken to test and ensure the purity of the flour imported into the United Kingdom?
§ Mr. BURNSI am aware of the provisions of the United States law on this subject. As regards the latter part of the question, perhaps I may remind the hon. Member of the answer which was given a few days ago to the effect that I had already directed an investigation by one of the inspectors of the Foods Department in regard to flour.
