Bread (Hansard, 8 March 1954)

§ 35. Mr. Willey
asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the decrease in flour prices, he will reduce the retail price of bread.

§ Major Lloyd George
No, Sir.

§ Mr. Willey
On a point of order. In view of the patent inability of the Minister to know what he is talking about, I wish to give notice that I shall raise this matter of liquid milk consumption on the Adjournment at the earliest possible moment. Question No. 35.

Hon. Members
Question No. 35 has been answered.

§ Major Lloyd George
In view of the patent inability of the hon. Gentleman to listen to answers, he did not hear the answer to his Question. The answer was "No, Sir."

§ Mr. Willey
Does the Minister realise that he could have gained some popularity with the housewife if the fall in the price of flour had been reflected in the price of bread?

§ Major Lloyd George
I am much more concerned with facing the facts than with popularity.
