HC Deb 07 November 1979 vol 973 cc187-8W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek powers to require the baking of bread with less chemical adulteration; and what plans he has to raise the food quality of the standard white loaf.

Mr. Peter Walker

The composition of bread is controlled by the Bread and Flour Regulations 1963, as amended. The provisions of these regulations are currently being reviewed.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what research is available to his Department into the food standards of the basic white loaf of bread.

Mr. Peter Walker

My Department and its expert advisory committees have access to research undertaken by Government Departments, research institutes, and in particular research commissioned at the Flour Milling and Raking Research Association.
