§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Munitions whether the question of the establishment of wet canteens has made progress since 15th December; and whether he is now able to offer the workers in any of the districts a choice of wholesome and palatable beers of low alcoholic content?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am informed by the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) that no wet canteens have been established by them. The matter is still under consideration by the Board. A number of canteens at munition works are conducted as clubs, and intoxicating liquor is supplied to the members. The Board's investigations on the subject of light beer are as yet incomplete.
§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Munitions how the munition workers are associated with the management of the canteens of their districts?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI understand that at a certain number of canteens supplying the needs of the employés at munition works the workers have a voice in the management, and the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) are favourable to this principle.
