§ Viscount WOLMERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state what additional cost in the price of beer per pint is effected by a rise of £1 per cwt. in the price of hops?
§ Mr. McCURDYI have been asked to reply. It is impossible to give an exact figure in reply to this question since there is no indication as to the class of beer referred to, nor as to whether the figure of £1 per cwt. applies to home-grown or imported hops. If the Noble Lord will put down another question in further detail I will endeavour to supply him with the information which he requires.
