Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Food what proportion of chalk is added to the national loaf; and from where it is obtained in South Wales.

Calcium in the form of creta preparata is added to flour at the rate of 7 ounces of calcium to 280 lb. of flour. The mills in South Wales obtain their supplies of calcium from the Swans-combe Works, Northfleet, Kent.
