Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to a case tried before the stipendiary magistrate in Liverpool, on 11th July, in which a firm of bakers was fined for selling a loaf of bread of the weight of 3 lbs.; under what Regulation these proceedings were taken; what is the reason for retaining this Regulation; and whether he will take steps to have it rescinded?

Viscount WOLMER

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the speech of the President of the Board of Trade in Committee on the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill on Tuesday last.
