§ 15. Mr. MONTAGUEasked the Home Secretary upon what authority the Chief Constable of Brighton instructs char-a-banc parties to leave the town before 6 p.m.; and upon what authority a licensee in Brighton acts in exhibiting a notice outside his hotel stating that char-a-bane parties are not served with refreshment?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)I have obtained a report from the Chief Constable of Brighton who 1375 informs me that no such instructions have been issued by the borough police. As regards the second part of the question, the police are not aware that any such notice has been exhibited.
§ Mr. MONTAGUEIs it not part of the licensing law that any sober person can be served?
§ Sir J. SIMONI should like to have notice. Rather complex legal questions may arise.
