31. Major BARNES

asked the President of the Board of Trade if the results of his investigations into the production, price, and profit of and on the manufacture and sale of beer will be made avail- able for the information of Members before the duty on beer comes before the House for consideration; and, if not, what is the object of withholding this information?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

For the reasons given in my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. and gallant Member on 10th April, it is not proposed to publish this departmental report.
