HC Deb 19 April 1948 vol 449 c1413
8. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Food if he will state the price paid for flour by the Co-operative societies, and the price paid by other bakers.

Mr. Strachey

Forty shillings per 280 lb. in both cases.

Sir W. Smithers

Is the Minister aware that there is a widespread feeling among the private bakers in the country that the Co-operative societies are getting some priority or some preference, and will he assure the House that that is not the case?

Mr. Strachey

Certainly.
