§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called 684W to an inquest upon an old man who died recently by drowning at Temple Stairs, on which occasion brandy was unobtainable and was explicitly refused at a neighbouring public-house, though, as the coroner subsequently said, it might have saved the old man's life; and whether this effect of the licensing laws now in operation will be made the subject of remedial legislation?
Mr. SAMUELI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on behalf of the Minister of Munitions to a similar question last Thursday.
