HC Deb 02 July 1940 vol 362 c678
67. Mr. Parker

asked 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. Assheton

My 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.
