WINE AND THE LAW
NO AMENDMENTS TO LICENSING LAW MR. MASON’S BILL DELAYED Press Association PARLIAMENT BLDG., .Today. The Industries and Commerce Committee, reporting to the House of Representatives this morning on the Licensing Amendment Bill (Mr. H. G. R. Mason), recommended that it be not allowed to proceed, on the ground that it should be reserved for consideration when next amendments to the Licensing Law are dealt with. Mr. Mason said that he realised that little progress could have been made this session, hut he regretted the Bill was not to be advanced a further stage. He considered that if the law were altered to take some of the artificial obstacles out of the way of winegrowing, there would be a great advance in the industry in New Zealand. Mr. J. McCombs (Lyttelton) said the Bill was not as innocent a measure as would appear from Mr. Mason’s remarks. It would greatly increase the number of wine shops, and would have mischievous results. The report was laid on the table.
