HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 cc84-5W
59. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what amount of compensation has been paid to brewers and tenants of licensed houses in the City of Salford, who have become redundant on the passing of the 1906 Licensing Act.

Mr. Ede

I assume my hon. Friend is referring to the Licensing Act, 1904. Since the passing of that Act, £200,340 has been paid for the extinguishment of redundant licences from the Salford Compensation Fund, which as my hon. Friend knows is subscribed by the trade.
