§ Mr. Lees-Jonesasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the result of the investigation which the Manchester licensing magistrates have made on the subject of drunkenness caused through British wines; and whether he will take steps to mitigate this cause of drunkenness?
§ Mr. LloydMy right hon. Friend has received from the Manchester Licensing Justices a copy of a speech by their Chairman in which reference is made to certain cases of drunkenness treated at the Manchester Royal Informary last Christmas. My right hon. Friend understands that these cases are not attributed to the drinking of British wine, but he is making further inquiry into the matter.
