HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 c1876
31. Mr. ROBERT YOUNG

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of pending legislation with regard to the drink trade, the Government will provide facilities to enable Members of the House of Commons who desire to visit Carlisle and acquaint themselves with the facts of the experiment in direct control that has been made there to do so?

The DEPUTY-MINISTER Of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)

I have been asked to answer this question. I am informed by the Central Control Board that any Member who may wish to visit Carlisle, for the purpose indicated in my hon. Friend's question, should communicate with their local representative, Sir E. C. Sanders, 19, Castle Street, Carlisle, who will provide all necessary facilities.

Sir J. D. REES

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that it is hardly possible for a Member or anybody else to avoid visiting Carlisle, and that it is extremely hard when you arrive there to get anything to drink anywhere, at any time?

Mr. KELLAWAY

That is probably the explanation why so many Members have not yet visited it.
