HC Deb 18 August 1919 vol 119 c1922W
Colonel GRETTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is intended to regard the Output of Beer Restrictions Act restrictions on the quantity of beer brewed to which the Act applies have been removed by Order under the Defence of the Realm Acts?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It is proposed to repeal the output of Beer Restrictions Act early next Session and in the meantime, in view of the undertaking to remove all restrictions on the output of beer, I have thought it right to instruct the Commissioners of Customs and Excise to refrain from enforcing the provisions of the Act.
