As regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the particulars given on 18th March in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Stratford (Mr. Groves). As regards the last part of the question, the number of bulk barrels of imported beer retained for home consumption in Great Britain and Northern Ireland during the calendar year 1928 was 1,332,262.
