HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 c2566W
Lieutenant-Colonel POWNALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with reference to the present restrictions on the imports of hops, should it be possible to increase the imports, he will consider the advisability of granting licences in the first instance to hops grown within the British Empire rather than to those grown in foreign countries?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The answer is in the affirmative.
