HC Deb 01 July 1919 vol 117 cc765-6
51. Mr. DONALD

asked the Prime Minister if the Government will consider the advisability of prohibiting the sale of intoxicants during the Peace Celebrations?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think that my hon. Friend's suggestion is desirable.

Mr. DONALD

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether that is the view of the Prime Minister?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not express any views here except those of the Government.

Mr. BILLING

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider releasing additional beer and spirits?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Personally I should hardly think that that would be any more desirable than the other.

Mr. DONALD

It may not be popular in this House, but should not this House show a good example to the country?
