§ Brigadier-General COLVINasked the Food Controller why the sale of spirits is still curtailed; whether there is any prospect of these restrictions being relaxed or removed in the near future; and whether, in the meantime, arrangements can be made whereby individuals may be enabled to purchase an occasional bottle of spirits at their grocers at a reasonable price?

§ Mr. McCURDYThis matter is one for the Cabinet, not the Ministry of Food, and I am afraid that I am not able to make any statement on the subject. As regards the last part of the question, having regard to the amount of releases now being made from bond sufficient spirits should be available to meet the reasonable requirements of the public.
