§ Mr. Georgeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ask the National Food Survey to present the information for 1977 in terms of percentages of families and individuals who have a diet which in calories, proteins, etc., falls (a) under 80 per cent. and (b) between 80 per cent. and 99 per cent. of the level recommended by the Department of Health and Social Services.
§ Mr. StrangNo, it would not be feasible to present the results of the 179W National Food Survey in this way. The Survey only measures the quantity of food brought into a participating household during a single week. As the household may during that week obtain more or less than a normal week's consumption, the National Food Survey cannot provide estimates of the number of families of individuals who consume less than the recommended levels.
