HC Deb 20 November 1919 vol 121 cc1132-3
73. Mr. HAYDN JONES

asked the Prime Minister whether, in any contemplated legislation for the control of the drink traffic, and having regard to the fact that Wales has already been the subject of special treatment, he will arrange for the setting up of a separate Commission for Wales and Monmouthshire, consisting of persons having knowledge of Welsh conditions and conversant with the Welsh language?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must ask the hon. Member to wait for the Government Bill, which will very shortly be introduced. I can, in the meantime, assure him that the special position of Wales is being taken into account.

The PRIME MINISTER
