§ Motion made, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."—[Mr. S. Robinson.]
§ Amendment moved, to leave out the word "now" and at the end of the Question to add the words "upon this day six months."—[Major Barnston.]
§ Question again proposed, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question."
Mr. WOOD(resuming): When we were interrupted, I was just concluding my remarks, and, as I think there are other 839 hon. Members who wish to express their opinion in the limited time that remains. I shall not trespass further upon the House.
§ Mr. RAFFANNobody regrets more than I do that circumstances have detained the Prime Minister, and that it is impossible for him to be here to-day. I am delighted to hear from my right hon. Friend that, if the Prime Minister had been here, he would have supported this Bill. That statement is very welcome to me and to those who think with me, but I am bound to say that it adds to the bewilderment with which I heard the speech delivered, ostensibly on behalf of the Government, by the right hon. Gentleman the Minister for Education (Mr. Fisher). It is perfectly true that the right hon. Gentleman did not profess to support the Bill, and that he did not state that the Government were supporting it; and I can quite understand that, in a matter on which the Cabinet is divided, it might be that the Prime Minister took one view and other Members of the Government took another But the right hon. Gentleman went on to say, in the name of the Government, that if the Bill secured a Second Reading he was not prepared to give it any facilities.
§ Mr. FISHERThe substance of what I said was that it must not be understood that because the Government was prepared to give a Second Reading to the principle, it necessarily followed that they would be able to provide further facilities, because the Government was proposing to bring in a measure dealing with the same subject for the whole country, and it would certainly be unreasonable in a congested Session that Parliament should be asked to spend time over two Licencing Hills, and secondly, I reminded the House that we have a very big programme.
§ Mr. RAFFANI am sorry that at nearly five o'clock the right hon. Gentleman should occupy valuable time in repeating exactly the statement I was making. If he suggests that the argument he has now repeated is in the slightest degree supporting the Bill or giving any encouragement to the promoters I am unable to follow the logic of it. I should like to ask the right hon. Gentleman, when he says the Government is to introduce a 840 Bill dealing with the same subject, is the Government to introduce a Bill dealing with local option. He states as a reason why time is not to be given for the consideration of a Bill dealing with local option and only one other matter that even if the House, I take it by a large majority, supported the Second Reading, there are difficulties in the way of giving time to it because the Government has a Bill dealing with this subject. Has the Government a Bill dealing with local option and with Sunday closing for Monmouthshire?
§ Mr. FISHERThe hon. Member will have an answer to his question in a very short time.
§ Mr. RAFFANThe House is entitled to an answer now. The right hon. Gentleman makes a speech which, whatever the professions of the Prime Minister, is against the Bill through and through. He says the Government has a Bill dealing with these subjects. When I ask him with regard to the actual subjects with which it deals, he is unable to answer me because the Government is divided upon the issue, and is unable, because of the divisions within its own ranks, to say whether they will have the courage to deal with the question of local option or not, and when you have to deal with a Government divided between the interests of temperance and the vested interests which have such great influence with them, it is for the independent Members of the House to make up their minds. The right hon. Gentleman said not a single word in favour of a single proposal of this Bill. Holding the responsible position of Minister of Education, he used not a single phrase to indicate that he was aware of the vast gravity of this great social question. I have little hope of any licensing Bill conceived in the spirit of the speech of the right hon. Gentleman. He says the Bill is faulty because, during the six years' time limit, it proposes to bring in no reform. It would be particularly inappropriate in this Bill, dealing with the special needs of Wales, to introduce long, complicated and cumbrous provisions which would lead to endless discussion if the Bill ever got into Committee. I know what would happen to a Bill of that kind if the right hon. Baronet (Sir F. Banbury) sat on the Committee. The Welsh Members 841 are very well advised not to embark upon that stormy sea, but to confine themselves to these simple propositions. I have had no answer in regard to local option. Presumably I am not going to get an answer in regard to Sunday closing in Monmouthshire. I happen to be a licensing Magistrate in Monmouthshire and I sit in the Bedwelty division to which reference has been made. We have had Sunday closing during the War. Mainly owing, or largely owing, to Sunday closing the numbers of convictions for drunkenness, which were 258 in 1914, have fallen to 17 last year. Is the Government going to put that right in the Bill?
§ Mr. FISHERThe hon. Gentleman is not entitled to know the points of the Bill before it is introduced.
§ Mr. RAFFANThe House is being asked to decide on these matters. The right hon. Gentleman says to the House, practically, that the Government is going to deal with these matters and it would be well advised to wait for the Government Bill. What is the use of waiting unless we know the Government are going to deal with them? If the Government have not made up their minds, very well. In that case the Members are entitled to decide for themselves. The hon. Member for Hertford (Mr. Billing), who sailed into this House on the great question of the air, made a speech from
§ which it seemed to me he is still in the air. He said that we must know that the working-man thinks on this matter before we interfere with his habits and privileges. What this Bill does, and what the Irish Bill would have done, and what would have been done by the Bill for England which I introduced last year—and which I hope to have the privilege of introducing again this year, unless the right hon. Gentleman will relieve me of the necessity by putting local option into the Government Bill, in which case I shall have no desire to go on—is to give the working man and the working woman the right to decide on this matter.
§ An hon. and gallant Member said that he thought the Bill defective because there was no appeal to a higher tribunal. I do not believe that there can be an appeal to any higher tribunal than the democracy of the district. They are the people who should have the right to deal with this matter. Therefore, I hope that the House will give this Bill a Second Reading.
§ Mr. S. ROBINSONrose in his place and claimed to move, "That the Question be now put."
