HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 c64W
Sir A. Baillie

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the general price of beer in the Middle East is about 4s. a pint; and what is the price when sold by Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes?

Sir J. Grigg

I was not aware that the general price of beer in the Middle East was as high as 4s. a pint, but I am glad to be able to tell my hon. and gallant Friend that Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes prices, at any rate, are much lower, ranging from about 8d. to 1s. 6d. a pint.
