HC Deb 06 December 1965 vol 722 c43W
Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Technology low much grant is given to the British Baking Industries Research Association at Chorleywood; and, in view of the importance of the Chorleywood Bread Process, whether he will increase it.

Mr. Cousins

In 1964–65 the grant to the British Baking Industries Research Association was £47,500, representing two-thirds of the industrial grant-earning income. These terms are considerably more generous than those normally given. The Association has also been awarded a special grant of £26,800 over five years for research on the staling of bread.

I have noted the success of the Chorleywood Bread Process, but further increases in the grant must depend on increased industrial support.
