HC Deb 10 March 1919 vol 113 c870
83. Captain Sir BEVILLE STANIER

asked the Food Controller whether he is aware that people are unable to get whisky for medical cases even when they hold a doctor's certificate that it is required urgently; and if there is any place where whisky can be bought for medical purposes?

Mr. McCURDY

The Food Controller is satisfied that the release of an additional 50 per cent. of spirits recently sanctioned is resulting in a very material increase in the quantities available for the general public; and that it should normally be possible for spirits to be purchased, at any rate in small quantities, when required for medical purposes.
