§ 57. Mr. THORNEasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that it is impossible to obtain draught-beer in a measured half-pint glass in certain licensed premises at Streatham; and whether, as this is contrary to the Regulations, he will take any action in the matter?
§ Sir J. GILMOURMy attention has not been drawn to the particular circumstances mentioned, but they do not appear to afford any ground for action on my part. The law requires a licensee, if he serves half-a-pint, or more, to serve it in a measure marked according to the Imperial standards, but no offence, I am advised, is committed if he declines to serve half-a-pint.
