HC Deb 23 May 1895 vol 34 cc119-20
MR. ALFRED MONEY-WIGRAM (Essex, Romford)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with regard to the Intoxicating Liquors (Local Control) Bill, whether, in the event of a limiting resolution coming into force in any area, and a licence being then granted as an ordinary licence in respect of premises theretofore continuously licensed as a beerhouse since the 1st of May 1869, such ordinary licence will be thereafter held subject to the protection conferred by the 19th section of the Beerhouse Act, 1869 (32 and 33 Vict. c. 27); and whether, when a limiting resolution is in force and a licence is granted as an ordinary licence, there will exist any right of appeal against a refusal to renew such ordinary licence at any subsequent general annual licensing meeting?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

As the Bill is at present drawn, the law touching the renewal of licences is not altered, except at the first general annual licensing meeting after the limiting resolution comes into force?
