HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 c106W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate his Department has made of the amount of bread which is thrown away in the United Kingdom in a year, its value, and the number of calories it represents.

Mr. Hoy

This Department has not made an estimate of the amount of bread which is thrown away in the United Kingdom. A reliable estimate would necessitate a widespread survey involving considerable expenditure of money and effort and my right hon. Friend feels unable to authorise this.
