HC Deb 22 October 1912 vol 42 cc1923-4
71. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

asked whether, under the provisions of the Temperance (Scotland) Bill, a man living in a prohibition area can enter a non-prohibition area, order liquor at a licensed grocer, and have the same delivered at his door in the prohibition area; and, if so, how is this to promote temperance?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The Noble Lord is correct in his interpretation of the Bill: it does not prevent a man from purchasing drink where it can legally be sold for consumption in his own house.

MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the last part of my question?
