HC Deb 03 March 1919 vol 113 c20
76. Lieutenant-Colonel CLAUDE LOWTHER

asked the Food Controller if the present small increase in the beer supply is all that may be expected; and whether he will make a statement which will allay the discontent and unrest to which the continuance of a reduced supply is creating throughout the country?

Mr. McCURDY

The Food Controller has now under consideration the question of increasing the output of beer over and above the additional 25 per cent. on the statutory barrelage authorised from 1st January last.

Lieutenant-Colonel LOWTHER

When may we expect some decision?
