HC Deb 25 February 1921 vol 138 cc1309-10W
Captain ELLIOT

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider whether information regarding nutritious and economical foods can be circulated to local authorities, educational authorities, and the Press, in view of the present distress and the great amount of manufactured and semi-manufactured foods consumed by the people of this country?

Dr. ADDISON

I am considering whether it would be practicable to issue a pamphlet containing information on the lines suggested by the hon. Member. As the hon. Member is aware, it is difficult to make any general statements with regard to the values of food, which are not liable to be misconstrued. I am having certain researches conducted in the subject in collaboration with the Medical Research Council.
