HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 c435W
Mr. Groves

asked the Secretary of State for War upon whose advice supplies of stout have been obtained for issue in the category of medical comforts; and whether any medical authority was consulted on the matter?

Mr. Eden

Stout is an extra which may be ordered when considered necessary by medical authority for the treatment of a case. This is not an innovation.
