Mrs. Slater:

Is not the Minister aware that the reason which the bakers gave for putting up the price of bread was the increase in the price of flour, and that the same thing goes on time and time again? Surely, if because of the increased price of flour the price of bread goes up, the Minister, whose object is to see that the cost of living is kept within reason, has some concern to see that if the price of flour comes down, the price of bread should also come down? Would he not inquire into it?
