§ Major M. WOODasked the Secetary for Scotland what steps it is proposed to take to bring under the local option provisions of the Temperance (Scotland) Act, 1913, the premises in Scotland at present occupied by the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) for the purpose of the sale by retail of exciseable liquors for which no certificates within the meaning of the definition contained in Section 15 of the Act have been granted by the Licensing Courts?
§ Mr. MUNROI have consulted the Central Control Board and the other Departments concerned regarding this matter. I am now in a position to state that the Board will give effect, as regards premises of the nature mentioned by my hon. and gallant Friend, to any Resolutions passed under the Temperance (Scotland) Act affecting areas in which such premises are situated. As at present advised, I think it may be possible, by Regulations under the Act, to provide for any variations in the pocedure which may be necessary in order to carry out this decision.
