I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many beer houses existed throughout Britain eight years after the passage of the Beer Act?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Because it was so easy to obtain permission and the profits could be huge compared to the low cost of gaining permission, the number of beer houses was continuing to rise and in some towns nearly every other house in a street could be a beer house.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
