HC Deb 12 April 1922 vol 153 c414
91. Major KELLEY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government have bought, or are contemplating buying, any licensed houses in the Control Board area of the Carlisle district?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answers which I have lately given on this subject, the effect of which is that no acquisitions of licensed premises in this area have been made recently, and none is in immediate contemplation.
