HC Deb 12 December 1928 vol 223 cc2127-8
70. Mr. JOHNSTON

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that a club licensing certificate for 12 months was issued in July, 1927, to the

Springburn Recreation and Social Club, 727, Springburn Road, Glasgow: and whether at the expiry of the period of licence any fresh application was made and granted for a new certificate, and, if so, upon what dates?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the Affirmative. As regards the second part, I am informed that an application lodged in June, 1928, for renewal of the certificate of registration has been dismissed.

Mr. JOHNSTON

Do we understand that that application has been dismissed?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Yes.

Mr. JOHNSTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman then say why that club was permitted to continue until November, 1928?

Sir J. GILMOUR

If the hon. Gentleman will put down a question I will give him an answer.
