§ 76. Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether he has received an appeal issued by the Strength of Britain Movement, signed by the representative brainpower of the nation, demanding the abolition of strong drink for the duration of the War; and, if so, will he say what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, the Government, as at present advised, are not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
§ Mr. BILLINGWill the right hon. Gentleman see fit to advise the Strength of Britain Movement to discourage the expenditure of the sum of £50,000 in advertising a thing of which the Government disapproves?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member must give notice of that question.
