§ MR. BONSOR (Surrey, Wimbledon)asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether, instead of making the compensation of licence-holders a charge upon the County Rates, he will accept an Amendment to the Local Government Bill authorizing the County Council to allocate to a fund to be used exclusively for the purpose of compensating licence-holders, who are deprived of their licences under Clause 13, the additions which may be made to the existing Licence Duties?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)The suggestion as to the allocation of the increased Licence Duties which may be levied is one which deserves consideration; and if an Amendment is moved to the effect referred to, I will undertake that it shall be fully considered by the Government.
