asked the Home Secretary the number of exemption orders sanctioned by the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police under the Licensing Acts during 1930; and whether he will consider the reference of all such applications to the licensing justices of metropolitan divisions for their consideration, as in provincial areas?

The number of special orders of exemption granted by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis during 1930 was 13,264. Similar matters are not dealt with by licensing justices in other parts of the country, but in any case any amendment of the licensing law must await the report of the Royal Commission on Licensing.
