HL Deb 24 August 1881 vol 265 cc813-4

Order of the Day for the House to be put into a Committee read.

LORD DENMAN

said, he objected to that part of the measure which proposed to allow liquors to be sold on Sunday at railway stations in Wales, because there was great danger of persons not bonâfide travellers visiting them on Sundays.

LORD ABERDARE

thought that the convenience of railway travellers should be consulted. The provision objected to was no new enactment, but simply left railway stations in the same position in which they now were.

House in Committee accordingly.

Clauses 1 to 3, inclusive, agreed to.

Clause 4 (Sale of intoxicating liquors at railway stations).

Moved, "To omit the Clause"—(The Lord Denman.)

On question? resolved in the negative.

Clause agreed to.

Remaining clause agreed to.

Bill reported without amendment; and to be read 3a To-morrow.
