§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd-George)I am causing to be printed with the Votes statements containing the information asked for by the hon. Member in this and the two subsequent questions.—[See Written Answers this date.] Mr. JAMES C. FLYNN: Can the right hon. Gentleman give separate headings for beer, spirits, and so forth; not the totals alone, but so as to differentiate between them?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEIt appears to me that the figures come under the separate headings, but I will see whether that can be done.
