§ Mr. CLARRYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that flour millers are attempting to withhold supplies of flour to a Newport baker because he refuses to charge l0d. per loaf for bread which he now retails over the counter for cash at 7½ per loaf at a profit; and what action he proposes to take to enable consumers of bread to effect this economy in their purchases?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKMy attention has been called to allegations of this kind in regard to bread sold by a firm of grocers in Newport, and I have asked the Food Council to inquire into them.
