§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the President of the Board of Trade the estimated daily consumption of bread in this country per man, per woman, per child, and per unit of population?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe information available with reference to the production of bread in this country, particularly of bread not baked for sale, is insufficient to furnish precise data on the subject of the average daily consumption. The total quantity of bread made, as estimated at the time of their inquiry some six years ago by the Royal Commission on Food Prices, was sufficient to provide between 7 and 7½ ounces per day per person. The consumption by men, women and children respectively cannot be estimated with precision.
