§ Mr. BarrIs the Minister aware that in connection with wet canteens, a provision was approved by this House to the effect that if anyone objected on grounds of principle, it would not be compulsory for them to take up this work?
§ Mr. BevinThere is a great demand for beer from the troops, and a serious shortage of it, and I have difficulty in finding the amount of labour required in the malting. I understand that this application dealt only with the preliminary stage of the malting, not all of which may go into beer.
