No Safeguards in Licensing Bill is Alliance’s Claim
Despite the amendments introduced just before the Bill was presented to Parliament, it still provided considerably increased facilities for drinking, said Mr H. W. Milner, general superintendent of the New Zealand Alliance, commenting today on the Licensing Bill. The Bill empowered a commission to put any price on new licences, he said, which would naturally load the licence in favour of big vested interests. It would also tend to aggravate the “tied-house” problem. “In any case, it enacts no safeguards and virtually no provision is made for trusts to secure any of these licences and operate them.”
