HC Deb 24 May 1916 vol 82 c2108
91. Mr. GRETTON

asked the Minister of Munitions if the patent-still distilleries not required for the production of munitions of war are to be under Government control; and if any control or restriction is contemplated in the use of pot-still distilleries?

Dr. ADDISON

The patent-still distilleries referred to will not be controlled, but their output of spirit will be under Government control. The question of control or restriction in the case of pot-still distilleries is under consideration.
