§ Mr. R. McNEILLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has yet considered the Report of the Committee on Industrial Alcohol received last June; and whether it is the intention of the Government to carry out the recommendations contained in the Report?
§ Mr. A. J. BALFOURMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The recommendations of the Report of the Inter-departmental Committee have been under consideration by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, and I am taking preliminary steps, in consultation with the Director of Fuel Re- 451W search, to enable the Department to deal with the alcohol question in an effective manner.
