Abstract
THE Ministry of Food, in collaboration with the Health and other Departments interested, has arranged a conference with the industrial and trade organizations principally concerned with post-war bread. It is hoped that the discussions of the conference will assist the Departments in advising Ministers on post-war flour and bread policy and in particular on any regulations which may have to be made after war-time control ends. The milling and baking industries, the flour importing trade and the co-operative movement have been asked to nominate representatives to the conference; invitations will be addressed to other interests later as may be necessary. The conference will be attended by the Lord Horder (personal adviser to the Minister of Food on medical aspects of food problems), Sir Jack Drummond (scientific adviser to the Ministry of Food), Sir Wilson Jameson (chief medical officer of the Ministry of Health), Dr. Andrew Davidson (chief medical officer for the Department of Health for Scotland) and Sir Edward Mellanby (secretary of the Medical Research Council). In addition, there will be present administrative officers representing the Ministry of Food, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Ministry of Health. Sir Henry French, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Food, will be the chairman of the conference.
