HC Deb 27 April 1917 vol 92 c2739W
Sir G. GREENWOOD

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the restrictions on the output of beer, wines, and spirits, and the fact that existing rents are based on pre-war conditions, the Government proposes to give to the lessee or tenant of premises licensed for the sale of intoxicants the right to determine his lease or tenancy by two months' or some other reasonable notice from any date?

Sir G. CAVE

I would refer the hon. Member to Clause 2 of the Courts (Emergency Powers) Bill which has recently passed this House. I am afraid that I cannot hold out any hope of further legislation of the kind suggested.
