§ Brigadier-General Spearsasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the State management scheme for Carlisle and district has recently acquired the Queen's Hotel, Silloth; and whether, in view of the fact that other houses in the neighbourhood have been acquired by the State, it is now intended to extend the State management scheme to the exclusion of private ownership?
§ Mr. LloydThere is no present intention to exclude private ownership of licensed premises in the State Management District, but as these premises were for sale it was decided to purchase them with a view to using them in place of other premises under State management which are near by.
