HC Deb 30 October 1919 vol 120 c890W
Mr. HASLAM

asked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention to take such steps as may be necessary to withdraw the present subsidy on bread; and, in this connection, whether he will consider the desirability of withdrawing the subsidy in instalments?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The subsidy must,. of course, be withdrawn, but the Government have not yet decided on the time of its withdrawal. The possibility of withdrawing it by instalments is being examined.
