HC Deb 29 June 1917 vol 95 cc689-90W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is yet in a position to state whether the increased amount of barrelage taken by the military authorities from the brewers is to be considered in regard to the statutory barrelage, so that the civilian consumption may not be decreased because of this increased proportion taken by the military authorities?

Colonel GIBBS

I must refer the hon. Member to the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
