HC Deb 10 September 1914 vol 66 c628
22. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether the Government will introduce a short emergency Bill for the suspension of the compensation Clauses of the Licensing Consolidation Act, 1910, until the War is over, and so prevent those who have to leave their houses shortly from joining the ranks of the unemployed?

Mr. McKENNA

I do not feel justified in asking Parliament to extend its emergency legislation in the direction suggested.
