§ Mr. Bairdasked the Minister of Food in what areas of the country low gravity 10d. beer is still being sold; and when it is proposed to discontinue its sale.
§ Mr. StracheyWithout widespread inquiry of the brewing industry, I am unable to give an answer to the first part of the question. Each brewer may at his discretion decide or vary the proportion of beers of different strength which he produces. So far as I know, the brewers do not propose to discontinue the sale of low gravity 10d. beer and I do not propose to ask them to do so.
