§ Mr. SAMUEL SAMUELasked the Minister of Munitions (1) if, under the new Regulations, a brewer is permitted to deliver a 4½-gallon cask and over of ale at all times of the day to a private house; if he is permitted to deliver three dozen pints or five crates of one gallon each, all of which up to the present have constituted a wholesale order during any time of the day; and (2) whether, in view of the scarcity of labour owing to recruiting, a drayman will be permitted, having left licensed premises with a load before 2.30, to continue delivering his retail orders during the afternoon?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI am informed that the Orders do not regulate the hours for delivery of intoxicating liquor. They restrict the hours during which intoxicating liquor may be dispatched from licensed premises, but, provided that dispatch takes place within hours permitted by the Order, delivery may take place at any time.
