HC Deb 09 August 1909 vol 9 c226W
Mr. BARNARD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many on-licences have been suppressed under the 1904 Act in the years 1905, 1906, 1907, and 1908 respectively, and how many have been referred by the justices in 1909?

Mr. GLADSTONE

The figures for the years 1905 to 1903 are given in the Annual Volumes of Licensing Statistics (see volume for 1909, page 6). They are as follows:—

1905 194
1906 892
1907 1,735
1908 1,235

The figures of references for 1909 are not in my possession. I do not collect them till the end of the year, when the number of extinctions can also be ascertained.
