HC Deb 22 June 1978 vol 952 cc259-60W
44. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to implement the Food Standards Committee (Second Report on Bread and Flour) recommendations about changes in the legislation affecting bread and flour; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Strang

The Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy is considering the importance of bread, flour and other cereal products in the United Kingdom diet and also any means by which the nutritional value of those foods may be maintained ind improved. We propose to await the report of this committee before making proposals to change the legislation affecting bread and flour.
