§ 42. Mr. OSWALD LEWISasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will cause inquiry to be made from the brewers as to what quantity of homegrown barley was purchased by them for the manufacture of British beer for the years June, 1932, to June, 1933, and June, 1933, to June, 1934, respectively?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have no power to require the production of the information desired, but I will inquire of the Brewers' Society whether they would be prepared voluntarily to supply me with such statistics as they have of the purchases of British barley by brewers in the years mentioned.
