§ 77. Mr. William Palingasked the Minister of Food the quantity and the value of beer imported annually from Denmark.
§ Mr. StracheySix thousand eight hundred and thirty-two bulk barrels of beer valued at £73,976 were imported from Denmark in the four months July to October of this year. These were the first imports of Danish beer since the war.
§ Mr. HastingsWould it not be much wiser to import Danish food instead of beer?
§ Mr. StracheyYes, Sir. Every ton of Danish food which is available at a price which can be agreed is imported.
