HC Deb 18 April 1956 vol 551 c83W
90. Mrs. Braddock

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he is aware that the dehydrated potato strips issued to Royal Air Force units are so unpalatable that they are unable to be made edible; which firm supplies them; and if he will take steps to see that emergency stocks are tested as to their edibility at regular intervals.

Mr. Birch

Our stocks of dehydrated potatoes come from several firms. Frequent tests of quality are made during storage, and I have no evidence that it is unsatisfactory.
