HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc788-9
77. Mr. William Paling

asked the Minister of Food the quantity and the value of beer imported annually from Denmark.

Mr. Strachey

Six 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. Hastings

Would it not be much wiser to import Danish food instead of beer?

Mr. Strachey

Yes, Sir. Every ton of Danish food which is available at a price which can be agreed is imported.
