§ VISCOUNT CURZON (Bucks, Wycombe)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many samples of beer were analysed during the past year; how many were found to be adulterated with noxious ingredients; and, in any samples of beer found to be adulterated, what were the noxious ingredients?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTThere were 2,044 samples of beer analysed, for the detection of adulteration, during the past financial year. In no case was the existence of a noxious ingredient found.
