37. Mr. Rankin

asked the hon. Member for Liverpool, Exchange, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, how many measures are obtained from a five-gill bottle of sherry in each of the various bars under the control of her Committee.

Mrs. Braddock

Sherry is bottled at six bottles to the gallon and is sold by the glass. As it is customary to pour, rather than measure the wine, the contents of the glass must vary slightly. On the average, 14 glasses to the bottle are obtained.
