HC Deb 27 November 1934 vol 295 c673
51. Sir GIFFORD FOX

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the brewers have not carried out their undertaking to increase substantially the consumption of home-grown malting barley, he will consider in the coming Budget introducing measures to make this compulsory and not optional?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer is in the negative. I have no evidence that the brewers have failed to carry out their undertaking.
