British Bread Subsidy Raises Questions On War Ration
There is confusion about England's bread program. The British government spends about 200 million dollars yearly to subsidize bread. Grain is taken from farmers at set prices and imported wheat bought at market price, then milled and sold to the public at reduced rates, with four pound loaves at 18 cents and smaller loaves at 9 and 5 cents. France applies a similar system with higher extraction and lower loaf prices.
