§ MR. JOHN TALBOTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House any Reports which have been received at the Home Office from Chief Constables or other police authorities as to the working of the Licensing Act, 1872?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he had received communications from various authorities throughout the country with reference to this Act. Part of those communications were of a confidential character, and he did not think it would be right to lay them before the House. But if the hon. Member would do him the favour of calling upon him at the Home Office, he would have the pleasure of showing him such communications as were not of that character.
