HC Deb 05 December 1957 vol 579 c72W
74. Mr. Collins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what, expressed in percentages, are the changes in the current retail average prices of bread and flour, compared with November, 1955.

Mr. Godber

The National Food Survey shows that the average retail price of bread has increased by about 43 per cent., or by 14 per cent. when allowance is made for the subsidy on bread in 1955. The average retail price of flour (which was not subsidised) increased about 10 per cent.
