Cabinet approval has been granted to draft laws to revoke the Bread Ordinance No. 13 of 1864.

Accordingly, the Cabinet has approved the proposal tabled by Trade, Commerce & Food Security Minister Nalin Fernando to revoke the ordinance.

In a statement issued in this regard, the government explained that the decision was taken as certain provisions of the Bread Ordinance do not correspond with the regulations of the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) Act No. 09 of 2003.
