§ MR. ESSEXTo ask the Prime Minister whether he proposes, upon the recommendation of the Report of the Select Committee upon the Hop Industry, to bring in a Bill prohibiting the use of hop substitutes in the brewing of beer in this country.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) Yes, Sir, it is in contemplation to prohibit by law the use of hop substitutes in the brewing of beer in the United Kingdom. A Bill for the purpose will be introduced at an early date provided general assent is secured to put it through during the autumn session.
