HC Deb 06 August 1896 vol 43 c1701
MR. R. PIERPOINT (Warrington)

beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that in Scotland it is unlawful to shoot game on a Sunday, 14-day game licences are available for 14 days exclusive of Sundays?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The licences in question are granted under the Act 46 Vict. cap. 10, Section 5, which provides that they are to be granted for a continuous period of 14 days. They cannot, therefore, be made available for a period of 14 days exclusive of Sunday?
