43. Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Minister of Munitions the quantities of beer and spirits cleared for home consumption in each of the months of the present financial year, with the figures for the corresponding months of the previous year?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. With my hon. Friend's permission, I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPOET the information for which he asks.

Sir G. YOUNGER

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he cannot give any information whatever?

Mr. McKENNA

I hold a long table in my hand, and I assume that I can.
