§ 45. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Prime Minister why the War Cabinet still forbids the brewers to brew beer and supply it to the public under the same conditions as prevailed before the outbreak of war?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answers which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food gave to the hon. Member for Hanley on the 20th and 22nd of May last.
§ Colonel ASHLEYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that many people most 1210 strongly object to the uncontrolled action of Lord D'Abernon and his nominated Board and desire that the supremacy of Parliament should be restored in regard to drink?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI dare say there is such a feeling. As I have already mentioned in the House, a Cabinet Committee is now considering the whole question of restriction.
