§ Mr. BellDoes not the right hon. Gentleman know that the maintenance of a single price for the whole country without the right to charge for delivery will result in many country bakers failing to make daily journeys?
§ Mr. WebbWe do, in fact, review the bread subsidy payments and such a review has recently taken place. In that review account was taken of the increased cost of delivery owing to increased petrol prices.
