HC Deb 31 December 1916 vol 88 c1628
83. Mr. WING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if on the reassembly of Parliament, unless prohibition is declared before such date, he will give the Members of the House of Commons an opportunity of expressing its will in the Division Lobby as to suspending the sale of intoxicating liquors at the bars of this House or, as suggested by the right hon. Gentleman himself on 20th April, 1915, that a Motion to impose upon us in this House precisely the same restrictions which are imposed upon others would have his support; and whether he is aware that the Kitchen Committee wish for the instruction of this House?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It will not be possible to give facilities for this discussion before the Recess, and perhaps the hon. Member will put the question again when we reassemble?
