HC Deb 01 December 1925 vol 188 c2070W
Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the President of the Board of Trade the exact terms of reference to the Food Council on the subject of short weight?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The Food Council have been asked to advise what measures, if any, should be taken for preventing short weight and measure in the retail sale of articles of food and drink other than tea and bread. I understand that the evidence offered to the Food Council was such that they have been obliged to consider this subject in relation to bread also. The range which it is intended the Council should cover in their present consideration is articles of food of general consumption, including milk.
