§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he can now make a statement as to the proportion of calcium to be added to the Ministry's fortified loaf; and whether, in view of the fact that the clinical effect of adding calcium in unspecified quantities to the diet is a matter to be determined by clinicians rather than by laboratory observations, the committee which it is stated is examining this question has in its composition the weight of clinical authority necessary to decide a purely clinical question?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI am not yet in a position to indicate what amount of calcium will be added to flour. All the medical aspects of this question will"be borne in mind by the Medical Research Council when formulating their advice.
