HC Deb 30 July 1919 vol 118 cc2106-7
58. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that a body of Americans has entered the United Kingdom for the purpose of promoting the policy of prohibition, under which no per son can remove any wine or spirits from his own house to another house, whether or not his own, or carry beer or wine in his car or carriage without becoming liable to fine, impisonment, and confiscation; and whether he will take steps to make it clear that this policy has no sup port from His Majesty's Government?

Mr. SHORTT

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have no knowledge of the activities suggested in the question except what I have gained from reading the Press. I do not think any pronouncement by the Government is necessary.
