§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether there is any representative of the dental profession on the Scientific Food Committee in its present composition; and whether, in view of modern research into the influence of diet on dentition, he will add such an expert acceptable to the dental profession?

§ Mr. AttleeI have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. As regards the second part of the Question, dentition is one of the many aspects of the influence of diet on health upon which the Scientific Food Committee receives the advice of distinguished physiologists amongst its members, and I do not consider that the appointment of an expert such as my hon. Friend suggests is desirable.
