HC Deb 29 September 1939 vol 351 cc1618-9W
Mr. Richards

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider introducing legislation in the near future with a view to reducing the facilities for drinking, particularly in those towns in which soldiers are billeted?

Mr. Peake

Such further information as my right hon. Friend has been able to obtain since he answered Questions on this subject last week confirms the view that it would be premature to come to a conclusion on the question whether further legislation on this subject may be necessary.
