HC Deb 20 December 1929 vol 233 c1790W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the varying discrepancies between the price of wheat and the price of bread; will he again bring this matter to the notice of the Food Council; and will he state what further action, if any, he proposes to take to ensure that the public get their bread as cheaply as possible?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

The price of bread is related to the price of flour, and, as I have already informed the House, the prices charged by bakers for bread are under continuous review by the Food Council, who from time to time take such action as they think desirable.
