HC Deb 24 April 1917 vol 92 cc2241-2W
Mr. MILLAR

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the Army Council, under Section 1 (5) of the Food Controller's recent Order restricting the output of beer to 10,000,000 barrels during the present year, have applied to the Food Controller for special certificates autho rising the brewers supplying the Army with beer to brew beer in excess of the restricted amount of 10,000,000 barrels allowed by the Order; and if he can state the additional amount of beer so applied for and the amount sanctioned by the Food Controller?

Mr. FORSTER

The question as to the amount of special provision to be made for canteens and hospitals is still under consideration with the Food Controller. Perhaps my hon. Friend will be good enough to postpone his question to a later date.
