Control of Wheat and Flour Regulations gazetted last evening provide for the continuation during the 1939-40 season of the scheme of control in the wheat, flour and bread industries. They are known as the Board of Trade (Wheat and Flour) Regulations, 1938, Amendment No. 1. The Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr Sullivan, in an interview, said that the scheme of control in the wheat, flour and bread industries had continued to operate very satisfactorily in the interests of wheat farmers, flour-millers, bakers and consumers. Organisations concerned had expressed satisfaction with the working of the scheme and it had not been considered necessary to make any changes in the form of the regulations controlling the industries. Accordingly it had been decided to continue the operation of the regulations which had served so well in the 1937-38 season. The new regulations just gazetted were of a purely machinery character and merely made such alterations in the principal regulations as were necessary to make them applicable to the 1939-40 season.
