§ 31. Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Food the amount of flour allocation to bakers for each month of the last six months, to the latest available date.
§ Mr. StracheyThere are no such allocations. As already announced, there is a limitation during the six weeks from 27th April to 95 per cent. of what bakers bought from the millers in February and March last.
§ Sir W. SmithersIs the Minister aware that this new, limitation is only camouflaged and has the effect of deceiving the public? Is it not simply robbing Peter to pay Paul?
§ Mr. StracheyNo, Sir, I am aware of nothing of the kind.
