HC Deb 20 November 1919 vol 121 c1147W
COLONEL GRETTON

asked the Minister of Food if the Government hold large stocks of rum; and, if so, if it is intended to realise any part of them and by what methods?

Mr. McCURDY

No, Sir. The Admiralty and the War Office are the only Departments which hold any stocks of rum, but these are not more than sufficient to meet their requirements.
