HC Deb 15 March 1917 vol 91 cc1269-70
60. Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the Food Controller has recommended meatless days, he can see his way to institute drinkless days and, by Order in Council, to prohibit all sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)

Ihavebeen asked by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. I understand that the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) are not, as at present advised, prepared to recommend the course suggested by my hon. Friend.

Mr. W. THORNE

What does the hon. Member mean by "drinkless days"?
