§ 47. Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that a Labour club has lately been opened in Carlisle and that, before registration, the following conditions were insisted upon; that the club should be subject to police supervision; that they should not become members of the Working Men's Club and Institute; and why these conditions were imposed?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have no control over the registration of clubs, which is a matter of the general law over the whole country. Perhaps the hon. Member is referring to an application which has been made for my consent to the supply of intoxicating liquor in a new Labour club in the Carlisle State Management District, but he is not correctly informed as to the proposed restrictions. I am considering the application.
