§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reply he sent to the Lanark Presbytery when it protested about Sunday drinking.
§ Mr. MaclayThe Presbytery sent me resolutions on this subject without asking for any comment upon them. Local authorities which have made similar representations, and have asked for my views, have been told that I can see no prospect of the early amendment of the law relating to the supply of liquor on Sundays in Scotland.
§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will again consider the possibility of legislation to make the purchase of intoxicating liquors on a Sunday dependent upon the concurrent service of a cooked meal.
§ Mr. MaclayI can see no possibility of introducing legislation in the near future to amend the law on this subject.
