HC Deb 06 December 1955 vol 547 c52W
117. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the desirability of leaving the brewery industry to make such experiments in their own interests, he will take steps to see that no further public money is spent on experiments to produce a satisfactory concentrated beer.

Mr. H. Nicholls

The present experiments on beer, which have almost been completed, were made to establish the practicability of the concentration techniques. It is hoped that the results will be of sufficient interest to warrant further development by the brewing industry, in which case further Government expenditure would not be required.
