HC Deb 17 July 1924 vol 176 cc566-7
18. Viscountess ASTOR

asked the Home Secretary how many police station canteens in the Metropolitan area are licensed for the provision of alcoholic drink; and whether he can state if the police canteens throughout the country are licensed for this purpose?

Mr. HENDERSON

There are 95 canteens at police stations in the Metropolitian police district at which the sale of beer and cider is authorised under Section 111 (2) (l) of the Licensing Consolidation Act, 1910. No similar authority has been given in respect of canteens elsewhere.
