§ MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, having regard to the widespread interest in the matter, he can now say when the Licensing Bill will be introduced, or whether this will, or will not, be before Easter.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURAs I stated in answer to a Question a few days ago† I am not yet in a position to give any information on this subject.
§ MR. JOHN ELLISWill the right hon. Gentleman say whether it will be before Easter, which is rapidly approaching?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURNo, Sir, I cannot.
