HC Deb 02 July 1917 vol 95 c751
52. Sir H. COWAN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the resolutions passed by public bodies and adopted at public meetings throughout Scotland, demanding the prohibition of spirits during the War, he will consider the desirability of ascertaining the wishes of the Scottish people in this matter by means of an early referendum?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The hon. Member's suggestion is, I fear, impracticable.
