§ 56. Major HILLSasked the Prime Minister whether he will now take steps to remove all restrictions on clubs?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI can add nothing to the answers which I have already given to questions on this subject.
§ Major HILLSMay I ask when we may expect a decision?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI gave an answer two days ago that the subject is being gone into by a Cabinet Committee.
§ Mr. CLYNESHas the right hon. Gentleman received a resolution from associations of clubs or fro many individual clubs, and if he cannot remove those restrictions referred to in the question can he see his way immediately to remove a number of them?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have received a great many communications, and what my hon. Friend suggests is exactly what is being done now by the Cabinet Committee.
§ Mr. C. EDWARDSIs the right hon. Gentleman prepared to receive a deputation representing clubs?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI should be glad to do so if I thought any useful purpose would be served by doing so, but I think I understand their point of view.
§ Sir R. ADKINSDo I understand a decision will be given before a Bill for the prolongation of exceptional legislation is brought in?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWYes.
