asked the Prime Minister if he can give special consideration to the Ice Cream and Mineral Water Sales Bill so that it may be passed during this Session; and if, in considering this request, he will take into consideration the high climatic temperature during this summer?

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not therefore arise.

Could not the right hon. Gentleman give some measure of support to this purely temperance Measure?

I am afraid that even this Bill would arouse greater controversy than the hon. Member contemplates.
