HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 c1128
14. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether he can now state when the report of the Royal Commission on Licensing will be available?

Mr. CLYNES

I regret that I can add nothing to my previous replies on this subject.

Sir K. WOOD

How many reports will there be?

Mr. CLYNES

The Royal Commission is not a Government Department. It is an independent and detached body, and we must await the result of its work.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any information as to what is going on?

Mr. CLYNES

I have asked for information, and I informed the House some time ago that the members of the Commission were considering materials with a view to the issue of a report.
