HC Deb 08 March 1911 vol 22 cc1357-8W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Chief Secretary if he will say whether any of his Departments have up to the present considered the necessity or advisability of investigating the alleged merits of the bread known as standard bread; can he say whether any of this particular commodity is obtainable in Ireland; and is he aware that exceptional facilities are available in the Ballyhaise mills for producing the particular class of flour necessary for the production of standard bread?

Mr. BIRRELL

The answer to the first paragraph of the question is in the negative. Standard bread is obtainable in Ireland. I am not aware that greater facilities for producing the particular class of flour necessary for the production of standard bread exist at the mill named than at other mills throughout Ireland.
