HC Deb 28 January 1918 vol 101 c1283
24. Mr. KING

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether a reduction has recently been made in the amount of sugar allowed for the confectionery trade; if so, whether a corresponding amount of reduction in sugar and glucose has been made for the brewing trade; and whether the food values of confectionery and beer have been compared and considered in this connection?

Mr. PARKER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the rest of the question does not, therefore, arise.
