§ Mr. BELLOCasked what licensed premises in the Metropolis, if any, are permitted habitually to keep customers on premises licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors after the hours provided by statute?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThere are in force in the Metropolitan Police District eighty-two Orders made under Section 26 of the Licensing Act, 1872, exempting premises licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors from the provisions of the Acts relating to closing. That Section enables such Orders to be granted when they are shown to be necessary or desirable for the accommodation of any considerable number of persons attending any public market or following any lawful trade or calling.
§ Mr. BELLOCCan the hon. Gentleman tell me whether the Ritz, Carlton, and Savoy come under that schedule?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI think I would like notice of that.
§ Mr. BELLOCYou will get it.
