HC Deb 18 April 1921 vol 140 c1517
26. Sir J. BUTCHER

asked the Prime Minister when the promised Bill will be introduced to abolish the Liquor Control Board, and to regulate the hours during which alcoholic liquor can be sold in public-houses and clubs?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not yet in a position to make any further announcement on this subject.

Sir J. BUTCHER

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that delay is causing considerable unrest in the country, and that it is very desirable to make an announcement as soon as possible?

The PRIME MINISTER

I quite agree, but the hon. Gentleman must realise how very difficult it has been.
