§ Mr. Boothbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food when it is proposed to commence the fortification of white flour; and when this process is likely to be completed?
Major Lloyd GeorgeFlour millers supplying flour to the whole of South Wales have commenced the fortification of their deliveries of white flour with vitamin B1. The area over which fortified white flour will be delivered will be extended rapidly with the increase of supplies of vitamin B1 but I am not able to state precisely when it will be possible to fortify all white flour delivered throughout the country.
