§ 59. Mr. Sidney Shephardasked the Minister of Food if he will now allow bread to be served with meals in restaurants without having to count it as an extra course.
§ Mr. StracheyNo, Sir, not at the present time.
§ Mr. ShephardWould the right hon. Gentleman say what is the estimated saving of bread grains for 1947 as a consequence of this Order, and can he give any assurance when this restriction is to be removed?
