HC Deb 29 December 1893 vol 20 cc431-2
MR. LEES KNOWLES (Salford, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he could supply, by Return or otherwise, complete information as to the treatment of habitual inebriates in the various cantons of Switzerland?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

said, there was some information on this point contained in the Commerce Report, No. 275, of this year. If the hon. Member would like further details, he should be glad to do what he could to supply them.

MR. LEES KNOWLES

said, he would point out that the Report contained only a general statement, and gave no details of procedure, and he would ask, speaking generally, for accurate and complete translations of the law upon the subject of each canton of Switzerland.

SIR E. GREY

said, he would make further inquiries, and see what information could be obtained.
