§ 111. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Food whether he will reduce the allocation of 90 per cent. of the 1939 quantity of grain used for the manufacture of beer, by which 700,000 tons of human food are devoted to this purpose, until the food situation has improved and the rationing of bread becomes unnecessary.
§ Mr. StracheyNo, Sir. In my opinion such a course would not be in the general interest.
