asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the letter, alleged to be written by Sir Edgar C. Sanders, General Manager of the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic), Public House Control (Carlisle District), of the 3rd July, 1913, in which it is stated that supplies of beers and spirits, largely in excess of the quantities that were sanctioned under the Intoxicating Liquor (Output and Delivery) Order, were supplied to a club and similar organisations in Carlisle; and whether he will cause an investigation to be made into the circumstances and inform the House as to its result?

I have made inquiry into this case and at the earliest opportunity I hope to inform the House of the result.
