§ MR. SHACKLETON (Lancashire, Clitheroe)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can state the number of persons proceeded against and the number convicted for being drunk last year, and the number of licence holders proceeded against and the number convicted for permitting drunkenness in the same period.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) These particulars are given annually in Table XI of the Criminal Judicial Statistics, but the statistics for the year 1905 cannot be ready for a considerable time to come. Figures on this subject for the year 1905 will be included in the volume of licensing statistics which is in course of preparation, and will, I hope, be ready for issue before long.
