§ 47. Mr. Mathersasked the Minister without Portfolio whether he is taking steps to study the position of the liquor trade, with the view of arriving at conclusions about it for the post-war reconstruction period; whether he is testing scientifically the claims of the trade regarding its products; and will he make any such information public?
§ Mr. GreenwoodNo, Sir; but I am always willing to consider representations on matters coming within the sphere of my responsibility for the study of reconstruction problems.
§ Mr. MathersHas my right hon. Friend forgotten his own interest in the setting-up of the Liquor Control Board, and does he not think, in respect of the second part of the Question, that it is time we had such slogans as, "Beer is Best" and "Guinness is good for you" disposed of and proved to be untrue?
