HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1123
50. Colonel PICKERING

asked the Prime Minister whether the time has yet arrived for the removal of all restrictions imposed on clubs and on the social habits of the people by reason of the War, in accordance with his promise of 16th December last?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can add nothing to what I have already said in reply to questions on this subject.

Sir F. HALL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a great feeling of dissatisfaction throughout the country, particularly among the smaller clubs, at the continuance of these restrictions, and will he see whether something cannot be done to remove, at all events, some of them in the immediate future?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I quite realise that. The Cabinet Committee was dealing with it yesterday, and I hope will come to a decision immediately.

Mr. BILLING

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that no social distinctions are made in removing these regulations, having regard to the present industrial unrest?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I certainly can give that promise.
