§ MR. BARNARDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the present number of on-licences, of off-licences, of on-licensees who brew and sell their own beer, and on-licences in Kidderminster who brew and sell their own beer in Kidderminster.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe latest available statistics as to licensed premises in England and Wales show 97,554 on-licences and 25,143 off-licences. I am informed by the Inland Revenue Commissioners that it would be a matter of considerable difficulty to determine the number of on-licensees throughout the country who brew their own beer, but that it has been ascertained that in Kidderminster, where there are 131 on-licences and twenty-nine off-licences, fifty-two licence-holders brew their own beer.
