HC Deb 10 December 1953 vol 521 c2155
2. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he anticipates being able to introduce legislation to give more control over the granting of licences for the operation of clubs.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 26th November to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Norfolk, Central (Brigadier Medlicott).

Captain Pilkington

Is my right hon. and learned Friend aware that these clubs do considerable harm to the proper functioning of the ordinary public-house?
