HC Deb 19 May 1908 vol 189 c81
MR. BOTTOMLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he can state the number of arrests or drunkenness on Sunday last in the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, respectively.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR, Forfarshire)

The arrests for drunkenness on Sunday, 10th May, were in Glasgow thirty-one, in Edinburgh nine.

MR. WATT

Is the standard of drunkenness in Glasgow and Edinburgh the same? In Glasgow a man is supposed to be drunk, but in Edinburgh it is only a preliminary canter.

MR. KILBRIDE (Kildare, S.)

Is this drunkenness due to the use of pot still whisky?
