HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 c16W
106. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Food what percentage of flour is now treated by means of chlorine dioxide or by agents other than nitrogen trichloride which, it is now accepted, causes epileptiform seizures in some animals; and when will nitrogen trichloride cease to be used altogether.

Mr. F. Willey

The exact percentage is not known but it is less than 10 per cent. In reply to the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Bodmin (Mr. D. Marshall) on 3rd April.
