HC Deb 25 March 1965 vol 709 c116W
30. Mr. Berry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to enable him to establish a licensing system for coffee bars by which they will have to close at 10.30 every evening unless permitted by the local authority to remain open until later.

Mr. George Thomas

My right hon. Friend is not persuaded of the need for restrictive legislation of this kind.
