HC Deb 22 November 1934 vol 295 c252
4. Mr. DENVILLE

asked the Home Secretary whether the licensing extensions granted to London in connection with the wedding of His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent will be extended to provincial centres?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The grant of special extensions of hours outside the Metropolis lies in the discretion of the Justices in each Petty Sessional Division. I have no jurisdiction in the matter.

Mr. DENVILLE

Is it not usual for so important an event to be the subject of celebrations, and why are the public-houses being left out and permission being given only to hotels and to clubs?
