Lieut.-Colonel W. GUINNESSasked the Food Controller whether he will make suitable modifications in the Stale Bread Order to meet the inconvenience now caused in country districts where Bakers only deliver bread three time weekly and where Monday's delivery has to be baked on Saturday?
§ Mr. McCURDYAt the request of the War Cabinet, the Minister of Labour recently appointed a Committee to inquire into night work in the baking industry, and decided that pending the report of this Committee the twelve hours Clause of the Bread Order should be maintained. I understand that the Committee has completed the taking of evidence and will report shortly. The whole position will then be reviewed.
