HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 c1527
96. Mr. GRETTON

asked if more licences for the export of malt will be issued, or if the policy previously an nounced of stopping all exports of malt will be adhered to.

Mr. ACLAND

The exports of malt from this country are being very severely restricted, I am not aware of any announcement that they will be absolutely stopped.

Mr. GRETTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman refer to the answer he gave in this House on 9th December last?

Mr. ACLAND

I have done that very carefully.

97. Mr. GRETTON

asked if it is known for what purpose malt is used which is ex ported to Italy; and if malt is exported from Italy to Switzerland?

Mr. ACLAND

Malt exported to Italy is consigned to brewers for use in brewing. The export of malt from Italy is prohibited.
