Mr. Mainwaring
asked the Minister of Food what is the fixed price for the quartern loaf; and at what price is its equivalent in fancy breads being sold to the public.
Colonel Llewellin
The maximum price of bread is 9d. per 4 1bs., although there is a somewhat higher figure in certain remote areas and in sparsely populated districts. Fancy loaves are commonly sold at the rate of between is. 6d. and 2s. per 4 1bs.
