§ Major HOWARDasked the Food Controller why men demobilised from His Majesty's Forces are refused permits to obtain malt for home - brewed beer, although such permits are being freely granted to men who remained in civilian life throughout the War?
Mr. ROBERTSThe position is not as stated by the hon. and gallant Member. The regulation is that permits can be granted to persons who were licensed to home brew in 1916, and a concession has been made whereby men demobilised from His Majesty's Forces can obtain a licence provided that they can prove they homebrewed prior to enlistment.
