§ 55. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what is the smallest size loaf bakers are allowed to put on the market; and whether he is satisfied that public inability to purchase small loaves which may be all that is needed is not a cause of waste?
§ Mr. MabaneBakers are permitted to sell I lb. loaves of national bread, 8 oz. loaves of Vienna bread and small rolls. I am satisfied that the small units at present available reasonably meet present-day requirements. Small loaves are costly in man-power, fuel and transport and, generally speaking, are more expensive to buy.
