HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 cc209-10W
108. Mr. Digby

asked the Minister of Food on what grounds it has been decided that no white flour or white bread should be made available for invalids who are unable to digest bread made from supplies of flour having an extraction rate of 90 per cent., although special provision was made for such persons during the 1914 to 1918 war.

Mr. Strachey

The Food Rationing (Special Diets) Advisory Committee of the Medical Research Council advised the Ministry before the extraction rate of flour was raised to 90 per cent. that they saw no reason for making special provision for white flour to invalids provided the extraction rate did not exceed 90 per cent.
