Mr. Mason

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ascertain the specific reasons why British beers are not allowed to be exported to Germany and, in particular, whether there are substances, including formaldehyde in the beers which are causes for objection.

Mrs. Fenner

I shall reply to the right hon. Member as soon as possible.
