Dates on which the Prices Commission were requested to investigate (a) the wholesale and retail prices charged for bread; (b) the wholesale and retail prices charged for fresh fish; and (c) the cost of material and appliances used in the building of houses were the 17th May, 1933; 6th February, 1935; and the 31st January, 1934, respectively.
