HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 cc681-2W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Minister of Munitions whether, in view of the fact that Oxford is becoming increasingly a military centre and that many sick and other soldiers are stationed in the city, the Central Control Board have investigated the local conditions; whether any and, if any, what restrictions on the sale of alcohol have been applied; if not, whether any restrictions are contemplated; and when are they intended to be enforced?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I understand that the Central Control Board have not at present held a local inquiry at Oxford, or taken any steps towards the making of a restrctive Order for that city, because there has been no demand from the authorities.
