HC Deb 03 April 1928 vol 215 c1772
21. Mr. BARR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can give a return showing the hours of closing of licensed premises in the various burghs and counties of Scotland, including the closing arrangements in certain coast towns during the summer months?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I regret that I am not in a position to furnish the information asked for.

Mr. BARR

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman take steps to ascertain it, seeing that this is a most important question, especially in view of proposals that are now being made in Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It would, of course, entail circularising every authority concerned in Scotland, and I hardly think that the expense would be justified.
