HC Deb 15 July 1974 vol 877 c8W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of contributions made by the brewers to political organisations in each of the last five years.

Mr. Shore

The only information which I can provide without undue expense of time and effort relates only to the large brewing companies which are all included in the Department of Industry's regular analysis of company accounts. The political contributions reported in the accounts of these companies were:

£thousand
1968 1969 1970 1971 1972
96 60 66 37 30
