§ 21. Mr. BARRasked 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. GILMOURI regret that I am not in a position to furnish the information asked for.
§ Mr. BARRCannot 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. GILMOURIt would, of course, entail circularising every authority concerned in Scotland, and I hardly think that the expense would be justified.
