HC Deb 07 December 1908 vol 198 cc74-5
MR. NAPIER (Kent, Faversham)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now say when the Bill to prohibit the use of hop substitutes in beer and to secure the marking of foreign hops imported into the United Kingdom will be introduced.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

I have been in consultation informally with representatives of the interests concerned, and shall, I hope, be able to introduce in a day or two the Bill for the prohibition of the use of hop substitutes, and for the marking of imported hops.
