HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 c1666
60. Dr. Comyns

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the shortage of beer in the Silvertown area; and if he will arrange for an adequate supply at the earliest opportunity.

69. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Food whether any change has been made in the basis on which brewers' beer production quotas are fixed.

Mr. Strachey

As from 1st October, production quotas are based upon production during the year ended 31st March, 1946, instead of the year ended 30th September, 1945. This will result in a small increase in supplies of beer, particularly in London, and Silvertown will no doubt share in that increase.
