HC Deb 05 April 1927 vol 204 c1892
84. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider the desirability of taking action to remove the restrictions on the hours during which alcoholic liquors may be supplied in clubs?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)

It has already been announced that the Government cannot consider action on this or any other item of the licensing question until after they are in possession of the Report of the Committee over which Lord Southborough presides.

Mr. REMER

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the Southborough Report will be issued?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The Committee are already considering the Report, which is in draft, and I hope to get It very shortly.
