§ Mr. Manderasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food the extent to which the Government wholemeal bread is now being made use of by the public; and what steps are being taken to make it available and give it publicity?
Major Lloyd GeorgeIt is estimated that national wheatmeal bread is now used to the extent of seven per cent. of all bread. Certain provisions of the Bread (Control and Maximum Prices) Order, 1941, may make national wheatmeal bread more generally available, and steps continue to be taken to secure the co-operation of the services, the public and the trade. National wheatmeal bread is brought to the attention of the public through the Press, broadcasts, posters, local intensive propaganda and other means and further publicity will be given to it.
