HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 c372W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is now ready to introduce legislation on the reform of the licensing laws.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

As I stated in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, South (Mr. Clark Hutchison), on 8th December, I have decided to establish a committee of inquiry to review the Scottish licensing laws. We should obviously await the outcome of its review before contemplating legislation on this subject.—[Vol. 808, c.92.]
