HC Deb 18 April 1923 vol 162 cc2093-4W
Mr. C. ROBERTS

asked the Home Secretary whether houses in the Enfield Lock State management district, in which intoxicating liquor has been sold under his authorisation, are now being disposed of; and whether applicants for a licence in respect of these premises will he required to take out a new justices' licence?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

All the properties formerly owned by the State in the Enfield Lock State Management District have now been disposed of. In two of the five licensed premises acquired by the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) in 1916, the sale of intoxicating liquor was discontinued by the latter Department, and these premises have been sold as unlicensed premises. The three other premises, where the sale of intoxicating liquor had been continued by the State, have been sold as licensed premises, and, as I understand, no question of applications for new licences has arisen.
