HC Deb 05 May 1915 vol 71 cc1116-7W
Sir GEORGE YOUNGER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total amount of repayments made to licence-holders under Section 9 of the Finance Act, 1914 (Section 2), up to 31st January, 1915, in respect of hours during which the sale or consumption of intoxicating liquors was suspended by order or regulations made under the Intoxicating Liquor (Temporary Restriction) Act, 1914, or the Defence of the Realm Acts, 1914?

Mr. ACLAND

I am afraid I cannot at present give the figures asked for. The allowances and repayments in question are made by the local Customs and Excise officials, and the total amount is not yet known.
