HC Deb 18 June 1942 vol 380 c1698W
Wing-Commander Grant-Ferris

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the benefit of the recently announced reduction in the price of malting barley of the 1943 crop will accrue to the brewing industry?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir. The cost of brewing materials is one of many factors which will be taken into account when the time comes to review the rate of duty on beer in future Budgets.
