Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will give an estimate of the expenditure incurred up to date in promoting the fortified white loaf announced in July, 1941, including the cost of provision of factories in this country for the manufacture of synthetic Vitamin B1, and of the supply furnished in Canada and in the United States of America; the payment of royalties in respect of the patents for production of this artificial vitamin and for bleaching the flour respectively, and the sums payable by way of compensation to the firms in this country and in Canada whose contracts will cease with the cessation of the milling of white flour?

Major Lloyd George

I regret that I am not able to supply the estimate asked for by my hon. Friend.
