§ MR. LAWSONsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, the House having rejected the Liverpool Licensing Bill, he is prepared to introduce a general measure for amending the Licensing Laws?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, in reply, that the rejection by the House of the Liverpool Licensing Bill had tended rather to retard than to accelerate the introduction of a general measure. Several material points in connection with the subject were still under consideration, but he could not at present give a positive promise with regard to the introduction of a Bill.
