HC Deb 26 July 1937 vol 326 cc2674-5W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the quantities of beer, bulk standard barrels, and spirits, distinguishing rum, brandy, and Geneva, imported into the United Kingdom, and the quantities of home-made beer, bulk standard barrels, and spirits exported from the United Kingdom during the year ended 31st March, 1937?

Sir J. Simon

The particulars required are as follow:

officials to contract out of such a general arrangement instead of volunteering to come within it?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The hon. Member has in mind, I presume, the question of instruction in regard to personal protection against the effects of gas. The actual procedure to be adopted for the submission of names for this instruction will be settled departmentally in consultation with the staff interests concerned.

Mr. Logan

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the national maritime importance of the port of Liverpool in case of war, the Government is prepared to meet the zoo per cent. cost essential for air raid precautions?

Mr. Lloyd

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on the 20th July to a question by the hon. Member for Everton (Mr. Kirby).
