HC Deb 28 April 1927 vol 205 c1024W
Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the considered Report of the Council of the British Medical Association defining tests for drunkenness; and whether his Department is prepared to adopt these tests?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have seen the Report. There is no question of the adoption by the Home Office of the tests suggested. It is for Courts to decide on what evidence they will or will not convict of drunkenness.
