HC Deb 29 June 1896 vol 42 c257
MR. J. COLVILLE (Lanark, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether he is aware that the canteen on Lanark Moor of the 3rd and 4th Battalions Scottish Rifles is open to supply civilians with excisable liquors on Sunday; and whether he will take steps to prevent this in future?

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The officer commanding the 3rd and 4th Battalions Scottish Rifles reports:— The canteen (of those battalions) on Lanark Muir is not open to supply civilians with excisable or any other liquors on Sunday, or any other day "; and he adds that any statement to the contrary is absolutely false.
