MINISTER’S STATEMENT

In issuing the report, the Minister of Internal Affairs made the following statement: —“It will he noticed that the Commission has recommended that with regard to certain ( lubs licenses should not be issued. So far as these clubs are concerned licenses will not be issued unless Parliament rejects the report, in which ease further consideration will he given the matter, and a later date may possibly be allocated for the meetings. The necessity for refusing licenses in these cases arises from the fact that, if Parliament acquiesces in the report, there would not be .sufficient days left for the remaining clubs if some of the days had been absorbed by some of the (dubs which are cut out. Another point that may be reiterated is that none of the additional licenses will lie issued until Parliament has had the opportunity of considering the report.”
