§ Mr. CAMPBELLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his atten- 606W tion has been called to announcements that tine London bakers are considering an increase in the price of bread; whether the Food Council is prepared to deal with any such action; and whether he has received any report from the Council as to the justification for such a step?
