Graham-Littleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will take steps to see that flour for the bread of the people contains the germ of the wheat grain, as much as possible of the aleurone layer and the finer portions of the bran; that, instead of flour consisting of about 70 per cent, of the wheat grain, as it does at present, the percentage extracted should be at least 80 to 85 per cent.; and that bleaching of flour should be prohibited, thus making the flour conform to the standards laid down by expert opinion?
