HC Deb 22 November 1917 vol 99 c1374W
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether no spirits for sale may be distilled in Ireland while they may be in Scotland; whether barley, of which there is a largely increased quantity in the country, has been found unsuitable to be mixed with wheat for making flour; and whether. under these circumstances, facilities mill be given for distilling in Ireland?

Mr. CLYNES

The answer to the first two parts of the question is in the negative; the third part does not, therefore, arise.
