HC Deb 08 November 1920 vol 134 cc842-3
54. Mr. HURD

asked the Prime Minister whether the licensing legislation of this Session will remove unfair restrictions imposed by the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) because of the proximity of military camps or for other war purposes on licensed houses in areas such as that of the town of Frome, which lie within larger uncontrolled areas; and if not, what other steps the Government propose to remove this vexatious inequality?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)

I have been asked to reply to this question. I would ask the hon. Member to wait for the Bill, which it is hoped to introduce this week.

Mr. HURD

Will the Bill touch this subject at all?

Mr. FISHER

Perhaps the hon. Member will wait and see the Bill.
