HC Deb 30 June 1932 vol 267 c2031W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the fact that there is considerable variation between different districts in the proportion of water to flour used in baking; and whether he will consider the desirability of taking some action to standardise the water-content of bread?

Sir H. YOUNG

I am aware that there are variations in the amount of water used in preparing the dough for bread making, but I have no power to take action on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend.
