§ Mr. WILESasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take the necessary steps to compel local authorities to more rigorously enforce the law which requires that all bread shall be weighed on delivery, having regard to the fact that since the recent increase in the price of flour the 2-lb. loaf in several districts of London has been rapidly growing smaller?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIn reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for East Northamptonshire on the 21st ultimo, I stated that I proposed to issue a circular letter calling the attention of local authorities to the provisions of the Sale of Bread Acts with regard to sale by weight and the desirability of their enforcement. This Circular was sent out on the 1st instant.
