§ Mr. RENDALLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why the medical section of the Ministry has declined (No. 32,182) to act upon the medical certificate of Dr. A. Grace, of Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, certifying that Mrs. Young, aged seventy-three, of Church Farm, Rudgeway, Gloucestershire, who is confined to her bedroom through illness, requires a little white flour bread; and whether, having regard to the fact that on this lady's farm 1,600 bushels of wheat have lately been threshed in one week, he will explain the reason of this treatment?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe information originally supplied in this case was not thought to afford sufficient ground for sanctioning a grant of white flour. As the result of further medical information the grant has now been sanctioned.
