HC Deb 13 February 1941 vol 368 cc1528-9W
Mr. Groves

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, whether the calcium he proposes to add to white flour is to be added in the form of chalk, or in what other form?

Major Lloyd George

Tests are being conducted with various types of salts and until these have been completed, I am not in a position to give a definite reply to my hon. Friend's Question.

Mr. Groves

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, whether, in making his arrangements for the addition of vitamin B1 and calcium to white flour, he will also arrange for a supply of white flour unadulterated with these two ingredients to be available for those persons who dislike wholemeal bread and fear the results of eating bread to which calcium has been added?

Major Lloyd George

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Central Bradford (Mr. Leach) on 29th January.
