BREAD DELIVERIES
BAKERS' ATTITUDE
The statement that every endeavour was- being made to induce bakers to restore to the public both a delivery service and a choice of product is contained in a letter from the Minister of Supnly (Mr. Sullivan) received by Mr. Clyde Carr, M.P. for Timaru. The letter was in reply to representations made by Mr. Carr, as a result of. complaints received by him concerning the failure of bakers to reinstate bread deliveries.
Mr. Sullivan pointed out that recently the zoning regulations had been replied so that there was now no officiarHaar to bakers reinstating delivefiiS.V However, up to the present they had been reluctant to do so, statingyihat it was because of the shortage Ot "tyres and motor vans in particular. ■inquiries made in official quarters this;..morning show that it is well known that bakers are working to a '•gentlemen's agreement" not to break up the zoning of deliveries or to resume" delivery to households. It is understood, ;■ however, that in some towns in the North Island some bakers have reinstated their deliveries, and it is thought possible that by the New Year .others will have followed, including bakers in some of the larger centres. It was pointed gut this morning^ 'Wat petrol is available for any •bakers wishing to resume deliveries.
