HC Deb 21 March 1904 vol 132 c250
SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cornwall, Camborne)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can now give a date for the introduction of the promised Government Licensing Bill.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I cannot as yet fix a date for the introduction of the Licensing Bill.

SIR WILFRID LAWSON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Bill will be introduced before or after Easter?

Mr. A. J. BALFOUR

I am unable to pledge myself on that point until I see how business goes.
