§ Mr. DONALDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the Fresh Bread Restriction Order in Ireland, which is causing a considerable wastage by the accumulation of unsaleable stale stuff, especially during this warm weather; and whether he will take steps to remove this restriction, in the interest of all concerned in the baking industry?
§ Mr. McCURDYI have been asked to reply. Clause 1 of the Broad Order, which provides that bread under twelve hours old shall not be sold, applies to the whole of the "United Kingdom, and the Food Controller is not aware that wastage has resulted from its operation in Ireland. The question of revoking Clause 1 of the Bread Order is under consideration.
