§ MR. J. L. WHARTON (York, W.R., Ripon)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he proposes to bring in a Bill this Session to amend the law dealing with habitual drunkards?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTI observe there are two or three questions on this subject now on the paper, besides the Notice of Motion of my hon. Friend the Member for West Salford, who has so long been attempting to call the attention of the House to it. In reply to them, I have to say that I have every hope of being able to introduce before long a Bill dealing with the treatment of habitual drunkards.
