HC Deb 30 June 1920 vol 131 c439
50. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Prime Minister if, having regard to the conflicting statements as to the result of the drink control scheme in Carlisle and the importance of correct information in view of the proposed temperance legislation, he will appoint a Committee of this House to make a full inquiry and report on the subject?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Government do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the appointment of such a Committee.

Captain TERRELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman state what are the objections to the appointment of such a Committee?

Mr. BONAR LAW

There is no special objection, but the Control Board will be pleased to give any information possible. They have given it in their Report.
