§ 8. Mr. Prescottasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what statutory powers Blackburn licensing justices prohibit publicans from displaying notices outside their premises to the effect that they have no beer.
§ Mr. EdeI understand that consultations took place between the licensing justices and representatives of the Licensed Trades Association. The meeting has been described to me as being of a cordial nature and it was mutually agreed that uniform hours should be observed and that no notices should be displayed to the effect that particular houses had no supplies of beer.
