HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1285
58. Mr. J. Mr. HENDERSON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government intends to proceed with the taking control of the liquor traffic in the present Session?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Government do not at present propose to take control, and, as I have already stated, they will not in any circumstances do so until the subject has been discussed by the House of Commons.
