HC Deb 29 July 1918 vol 109 c47W
Mr. DORIS

asked the Food Controller if any steps have yet been taken by his Department to remedy the grievances of small licensed traders in Ireland who have not been able to obtain supplies of stout and porter from wholesale traders with whom they dealt in the datum year, and who cannot obtain supplies directly from brewers; and is he aware that, although these small dealers have paid for their publicans' licences, they have been deprived of their means of livelihood by Orders of the Department depriving them of the right to obtain supplies?

Major ASTOR

I can add nothing to the answer given last Thursday to the hon. Member for West Kerry on this subject, except to repeat the Food Controller's assurance that there will be no delay in dealing with the matter.
