§ 2. Viscount SANDONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that retail bread prices have not for some weeks been in accordance with the scale laid down by the Food Council, a black list will be published as originally intended, by the Council in this eventuality?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKIt is not the case that retail bread prices have not for some weeks been in accordance with the scale laid down by the Food Council, nor was it ever the intention of the Council to publish a black list. My Noble Friend will have observed that the price of bread in London was reduced to 9½d. on 22nd February. This price is in accordance with the Food Council's scale.
