HC Deb 12 March 1923 vol 161 cc1028-9
67. Colonel Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider the control of the importation of foreign hops until such time as the pre-War acreage under hop cultivation in this country has been reestablished?

Sir R. SANDERS

The importation of foreign hops will be strictly regulated during the existence of the hop control, which will be continued under the provisions of the Ministry of Food (Continuance) Act, 1920, until August, 1925. I am carefully considering what action may be advisable after that date.
