§ 1. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet had an opportunity of investigating the prices now being charged for beer to the public; and whether the Board of Trade has any proposal for protecting the public if the charges of profiteering against the brewers are substantiated?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Baldwin)I have nothing at present to add to the answers which I gave the hon. and gallant Member on Monday last.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYCan the right hon. Gentleman give me any idea how long the investigation will be, and whether, in fact, the Board of Trade are pursuing this matter with activity?
§ Mr. BALDWINWith regard to the second part of the question, we are displaying such activity as we are capable of, and as to the other part, I am afraid I cannot name a time at the moment.
