HC Deb 27 July 1916 vol 84 cc1871-4
Mr. GRETTON

(by Private Notice): I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether the Lords Amendments to the Output of Beer (Restriction) Bill will be taken to-day, so that the Bill may be passed and receive the Royal Assent at once?

The PRIME MINISTER

The consideration of this subject is put down for Monday, so that the Amendments may be printed. I do not think it will make any difference in the date of the Royal Assent.

Mr. GRETTON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that under Clause 2 of the Bill important notices have to be given, and may I ask if administrative action will be taken and officials in structed that the date August 1st in the Bill shall not be insisted on, so that persons may not suffer damage by the delay in the passing of this Bill?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Pretyman)

Any time that is necessary will be allowed. I cannot say exactly what date, as we do not know when the Bill will receive the Royal Assent and become law.
