Women Drinkers: Birmingham Representatives on Committee of Inquiry: The Central Control Board have appointed a Committee consisting of Sir George Newman, M.D. (chairman), E. Macadam (Welfare Department, Ministry of Munitions), Miss H. Martindale (Home Office Inspector of Factories, Birmingham district), and Mrs. Hume Pinsent, to inquire into the alleged excessive drinking of alcohol among women in Birmingham. The secretary of the Committee is Mr. G. C. Brook, Central Control Board. Any person willing to give evidence, either in their own writing -or personally, should communicate with him without delay. It is probable that before long the Committee will pay a visit to Birmingham and will take evidence from persons interested in the subject of the inquiry.
