HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 c521
21. Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the new blood-test system for alcoholism; and whether the Home Office will consider its adoption?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am aware of the test to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers. I presume that he has in mind its adoption in cases where drunkenness is an element in a criminal charge; but I doubt its value for such a purpose, and I have no power to require any person to submit to it.
