HC Deb 09 December 1943 vol 395 c1160W
Mr. Hannah

asked the Secretary of State for India why shipping space was used to consign a cargo of whisky to Bombay when it was not found possible to send to India badly needed supplies of quinine?

Mr. Amery

The ban which had previously been maintained on the shipment of spirits to India was lifted in September. This has certainly not been at the expense of quinine. Quinine is produced in India and supplies there are adequate.
