CAPTAIN FABER (Hampshire, Andover)I beg to ask the Prime Minister, whether, looking at the large price recently obtained by the War Office on the sale of the "Coach and Horses" Inn, he will consider the advisability of immediately selling all the public-houses belonging to His Majesty's Government.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.No, Sir.
CAPTAIN FABERArising out of that reply may I ask whether the reason is that the value of public-houses has depreciated owing to the Licensing Bill?
§ [No Answer was returned.]
§ MR. SPEAKERThe hon. Member can form his own judgment.
