§ 47. Mr. BECKERasked the Prime Minister if he can give special consideration to the Ice Cream and Mineral Water Sales Bill so that it may be passed during this Session; and if, in considering this request, he will take into consideration the high climatic temperature during this summer?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not therefore arise.
§ Mr. BECKERCould not the right hon. Gentleman give some measure of support to this purely temperance Measure?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am afraid that even this Bill would arouse greater controversy than the hon. Member contemplates.
