HC Deb 23 May 1901 vol 94 cc987-8
MR. TAYLOR (Lancashire, Radcliffe)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is proposed to give facilities for the passing into law of the Bill to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors to children under sixteen years of age.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have considered whether it would be more convenient to make a statement on this subject now or when I ask for further facilities for Government business, as I shall have to do after the Whitsuntide holidays. I have come to the conclusion that it would be more convenient to follow the latter course, and when I move the motion on an early day after the House reassembles I shall be prepared to make a statement on this and kindred subjects.
