HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1120
43. Colonel PICKERING

asked the Home Secretary if he will issue a Table showing the reduction in the convictions for drunkenness in each county or district during each of the six months from 1st January, 1915, distinguishing the districts which have been subject to the Orders of the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) and those in which, in each of the half-yearly periods, no Orders of the Board were in force?

Mr. SHORTT

I have already, in answer to several similar questions, promised to have a statement prepared on this subject, and I will send the hon. and gallant Member a copy when completed.

An HON. MEMBER

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether in that return women will be separated from men, seeing that the absence of this information vitiates the main return?

Mr. SHORTT

I do not know whether it is possible, but I will see.
