HC Deb 21 January 1972 vol 829 cc301-2W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the average price of bread in Cardiganshire compared with the United Kingdom average.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Individual figures for Cardiganshire are not available. The major plant bakers have for many years imposed a transport surcharge in areas remote from their bakeries. In areas such as the west coast of Wales, their recommended retail price for the standard large loaf, sliced and wrapped, is 10½p. as against 10p. in most areas of Great Britain.
