The Licensing Bill
HOW IT WAS KILLED LOST BY BIG MAJORITY SOME SPIRITED SPEECHES London, November 28. Bishop Ingram states that the Archbishop of Canterbury is willing if the Government will i ermit to introduce a new Licensing Bill embodying the temperance proposals lost in the Bill. Lord Lodebum, in admitting that the Government’s Bill was dead, declared it to be a victory for the trade over the community anl wrong over right. Nevertheless the time would come when the State wll resume the power and review licenses unfettered by any vested interest.

Ihe minority included two Burleigh, Earls of < 'arlisle, Delaware, Blister, Falmouth, Lotton, Cobham, Milner, and ni c other Unionists. Mr Asquith, replying to the Primate, invited him to make a statement of objections with any counter proposal regarding the conditions and transfer of school terms and contracting out.
