HC Deb 20 November 1940 vol 365 cc2021-2W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, how it is proposed to carry out the undertaking given that wholemeal flour will be supplied to the public as readily as white flour, in view of the announcement that the Government, while storing large stocks of white flour, have not made, and do not propose to make, provision for storing wholemeal flour?

Major Lloyd George

Current consumption of flour is directly met from the output of the mills and not from the special reserves. Under instructions which my noble Friend proposes to issue in due course, all millers will be prepared to supply on demand wholemeal flour at the same price as that which National straight run white flour is sold. The storage of wholemeal flour is not necessary for this purpose.
