§ 75. Mr. PICKERINGasked the Minister of Agriculture what is the present quota payment on a sack of 280 lbs. of flour; and what sum does it represent per 4 lb. loaf of bread?
§ Major ELLIOTThe present rate of quota payment is 13.2 pence per cwt., equivalent to 2s. 9d. per 280 lb. sack of flour. Taken by itself, the quota payment would represent the equivalent of somewhat over a farthing in the 4 lb. loaf.
