HC Deb 24 January 1949 vol 460 cc85-6W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that medicinal paraffin, which some bakers are using in bread, adversely affects and injures people with weak stomachs; and what steps he is taking to ensure that it is not so used in future.

Mr. Strachey

I have not heard of any baker using medicinal paraffin as an ingredient in bread. If the hon. Member will send me further details, I will willingly look into the matter.
