§ 12. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Minister of Food for an estimate of the effect which the reduction in the price of Canadian and United States wheat will have upon the price of bread.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeAs National bread is heavily subsidised any saving will accrue to the taxpayer by reduction of the subsidy. The price of other bread is not subject to control.
§ Major Anstruther-GrayDoes my right hon. and gallant Friend look forward to any substantial saving to the taxpayer on this account?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeAt the moment it would not amount to much more than 1933 about ¼d. on a l¾lb. loaf. The subsidy is running at £47 million, and any saving to the taxpayer will be welcome.
