§ 67. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that night baking was prohibited in the last war; that much time is now being lost at night owing to air raids; that black-out conditions make ventilation difficult and heat unbearable at night; and whether he will prohibit night baking for the duration of the war?
§ Mr. AsshetonMy hon. Friend is wrong in thinking that night baking was prohibited in the last war. My right hon. Friend thinks, however, that the matter should be re-examined, and is taking steps to consult with the various interests concerned as to whether any modification is desirable for the war period.
