§ 30. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Minister of Food what is the drop in the consumption of bread in the last three months; what is the percentage of dollar wheat in flour in 1949; and what is the proposed percentage in 1950.
§ Mr. S. N. EvansThere has been very little change in the consumption of bread during the last three months, except for a small seasonal drop in January. The dollar wheat content of the flour distributed in 1949 was about 58 per cent., but it is too early to forecast what the corresponding percentage may be in 1950.
§ Mr. MarshallIf the hon. Gentleman cannot tell me the proportion for 1950, can he tell me the proportion for the first three months of this year?
