§ MR. ALDEN (Middlesex, Tottenham)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he is aware that confectioners and purveyors of mineral waters and other shopkeepers are prohibited from selling after 10 p.m. any non-intoxicating liquors to be consumed on the premises without a licence; what Is the amount required for that licence; and what object is served by the enforcement of this regulation.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) I take it that this Question refers to the fact that, in pursuance of Section 6 of The Refreshment Houses Act, 1860, refreshment houses in which intoxicating liquors are not sold may not remain open
