§ Mr. CROFTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the rise in price in brewing materials; and whether the Government will, under the circumstances, remit the war tax of 1s. a barrel and reduce the Licence Duties for this year?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI am aware that the prices of sugar and barley have risen within a recent period, but I am afraid my right hon. Friend cannot adopt the suggestion of the hon. Member.
§ Mr. CROFTMay I ask whether the Government are aware of the fact that the rise in the price on brewers' materials equals something like 3s. on the barrel?
