HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2385
22. Mr. SAMUEL ROBERTS

asked the Home Secretary the policy of the Carlisle Liquor Control Department with regard to redundant houses?

Mr. HENDERSON

The large reductions already made in the number of public houses in the Carlisle district has left but little scope for further reductions. The policy of closing houses on the score of redundancy will, however, be continued so far as opportunity offers.

Mr. ROBERTS

Is the right hon. Gentleman's policy to let or to sell redundant houses? If it is to sell, is he aware that a certain public house has recently been let to the Carlisle Labour party, and that the name of that house is the "Lion and the Lamb"?
