§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received regarding certain vitamins being included in flour; if he will publish in the Official Report the names of learned authorities who have made such representations; if he will indicate in total the number of communications he has received in favour of such action and the number he has received which oppose such action; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. FennerI have so far received 133 representations on this matter, most of which either express reservations or are opposed to the proposal that flour should no longer be required to contain specified quantities of certain minerals and vitamins. It would be a breach of confidence to publish the names and views of those who have commented. I will, of course, consider these representations with my colleagues, before recommending revised bread and flour regulations to Parliament.
