§ Sir IVOR HERBERTasked the Prime Minister whether the Bill promised in the King's Speech to amend the law in regard to inebriates will be introduced before the Whitsuntide recess; and, if so, whether any date has been fixed for its introduction?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of the HOME OFFICE (Mr. Herbert Samuel, for the Prime Minister)My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The Secretary of State said, in reply to a question by the hon. Member for the Oswestry Division on 29th April, that he hoped this Bill would be introduced soon, but was not yet in a position to name the day. I regret there is nothing to add to that answer at present.
