Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Minister of Health whether, in the interests of public health, he intends to introduce legislation to make compulsory the wrapping of bread from the time it is baked until it reaches the consumer?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. I agree with my hon. and gallant Friend that the wrapping of bread is desirable in the interests of cleanliness, but I fear that the increase of price which might result if the universal adoption of the practice were made compulsory would outweigh any advantages which might be secured.
