§ * DR. HUTCHINSON (Sussex, Eye)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if the total amount of hop substitutes, 19,422 pounds, given in the recent Return of Brewers' Licences, is the total amount used in brewing; and whether substitutes that are added after the brewing is completed are included in this Return.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. HAYES FISHER,) FulhamThe Brewers' returns of Hop Substitutes, on which the figures in the Brewers' Licences Return are based, should include, and—so far as the Board of Inland Revenue are aware—do include, all hop substitutes, whether used in the actual process of brewing, or added to finished beer.
§ * MR. GROVESMay I point out that all these substitutes are also used by others than brewers.
