HC Deb 05 May 1919 vol 115 cc582-3
46. Major NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether it is intended during the present Session to introduce legislation dealing with the hours of opening of licensed premises and kindred matters, and will he give the approximate date on which the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) will be dissolved?

The SECRETARY Of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of his Budget speech on Wednesday last. In the meantime I am not in a position to make any further statement.

Major NEWMAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the latter part of my question?

Mr. SHORTT

I can make no further statement.
