Mr. WATTasked the Minister of Munitions whether a quantity of grain alcohol which has been used for many months in the manufacture of munitions is now to be freed by his Department for other purposes; if so, will he say for what purposes it is likely to be used; and, if for drinking, will he see the advisability of delaying the change, in view of the condition of mind of the people over the Armistice?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYA quantity of grain alcohol, which in the past has been used in the manufacture of munitions, will now be released by the Government for other purposes.
