§ 73. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Food how many tons of stale bread have been bought from bakers for each of the past three months; and what price is paid per ton.
§ Dr. SummerskillI regret I have no information as to the amount of stale bread sold by bakers. The maximum price for stale bread sold as bread is £24 per ton, and for stale bread dried and crumbled as sausage rusk it is £32 per ton. In respect of stale bread unfit for human consumption, our local officers have been authorised to permit the sale of such bread for animal food at a maximum price of90W £7 5s. per ton. We do not know, however, whether these figures were readied in every case.
