HC Deb 16 March 1926 vol 193 c265W
Colonel DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the price of flour has fallen three times during the last week; that the price of bread has remained stationary in the London district; and whether the attention of the Food Council will be devoted to this matter?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Since the date of the three reductions referred to, the price of flour in London has been raised twice, and now stands at 45s. 6d. per sack of 280 lbs. of standard grade flour. At this price the price of bread fixed by the Associations of London Bakers is not in excess of the Food Council's maximum price.
