HC Deb 25 January 1954 vol 522 c198W
55. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Food whether he can now state when the use of agene as a flour improver and bleacher is to be discontinued; and what alternative improver will be substituted.

Dr. Hill

The Medical Research Council are now assessing the significance of the results of tests they have carried out on a number of flour improvers. As indicated in the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 26th October, my right hon. and gallant Friend hopes to be in a position to make a statement fairly soon.
