§ 62. Sir A. WILSONasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the possibility of obtaining and publishing, in connection with annual licensing statistics, details of the age groups of persons convicted of drunkenness?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI do not think that the value of these additional details would be commensurate with the labour and expense involved in collecting them.
Viscountess ASTORDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that, now that drunkenness has increased by 20 per cent. all over the country, something ought to be done in the matter? [HON. MEMBERS: "Oh!"] It is true.
