HC Deb 23 April 1940 vol 360 c47W
Captain Plugge

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will take the necessary steps to authorise assistant provost marshals to enter bottle parties in London?

Mr. Stanley

I am informed that the Provost Marshal's officers in London experience no difficulties in entering bottle parties for the purpose of inspection, and I do not think it is necessary to take any special steps in this connection?
