About 200.

Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether any survey has been carried out by his Department on the wishes of people in respect of longer drinking hours; and, if so, whether he will publish the results;

(2) whether any survey has been carried out by his Department into the wishes of people in respect of children in public houses; and, if so, whether he will publish the results.
