HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1682W
Viscount DUNCANNON

asked the Food Controller whether the large quantity of spirits soon becoming available for clearance, which was the property of the Minister of Munitions, and which is no longer required by them, could be offered to those merchants who experience a great difficulty in obtaining stocks to enable them to keep their businesses going, and who have to pay their licences and general outgoings whether stock is available or not?

Mr. McCURDY

It is understood that the spirit in question has already been sold by the Minister of Munitions to the distillers by whom it was manufactured.
