HC Deb 01 March 1900 vol 79 cc1433-4
SIR WILFRID LAWSON () Cumberland, Cockermouth

I beg to ask the hon. Member for Hammersmith, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he intends to introduce a Bill this session for legalising the sale of drink in the House and its precincts.

GENERAL GOLDSWORTHY () Hammersmith

As the hon. Member and his friends have for two sessions prevented a Bill introduced by my predecessor from becoming law, it is not my intention to reintroduce the Bill.

SIR WILFRID LAWSON

Arising out of the answer, may I ask whether it is intended to go on selling and serving drink without any legal power?

[No answer was given.]
