§ Mrs. Braddockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the police have no powers to request the closing of shebeens even when many fines have been imposed; and, in view of the increasing difficulties in controlling the incidence of these places, if he will consider introducing legislation to give the powers needed.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeShebeens are by definition unlawful in themselves. I have no reason to suppose that the existing penalties for selling intoxicating liquor without a licence are insufficient.
