§ 28. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will indicate any difficulties which may have prevented his implementation of the recommendations of the Food Standards Committee's second report on bread and flour; when he now intends to implement these recommendations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StrangI refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to her on Thursday 22nd June.—[Vol. 952, c.260.] The report of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy on the nutritional importance of bread, flour and cereal products in the United Kingdom diet is not yet available. We propose to await the report of this Committee before making proposals to change the legislation affecting bread and flour.
