HC Deb 29 October 1908 vol 195 c485
MR. CHARLES ROBERTS (Lincoln)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether licensed premises were closed throughout the Dominion of Canada on the day of this week on which the Canadian Parliamentary elections were hold; and if he has any information as to the working of this regulation.

COLONEL SEELY

The Dominion Elections Act of 1900 provides that no spirituous or fermented liquors or strong drinks shall be sold or given at any hotel, tavern, shop, or other place within the limits of any polling division, during the whole of the polling day at an election. I have no information as to the working of this regulation.
