  • Pubs Sunday 17 November 2024 Traditional pubs
  • Pubs Code debate Tuesday 12 November 2024 Debate about helping pubs: In 1916, during the great war, the Government introduced the famous “Carlisle experiment.” Concern about the intoxicating effects of Carlisle’s pubs on nearby munitions production resulted in the state ownership and control of the pubs and beer trade. How great, Members may ask, was the concern that it warranted the nationalisation of Carlisle’s pubs and breweries. A few miles up the road from Carlisle lay His Majesty’s Factory Gretna. Regarded as the greatest munitions factory on earth in the first world war, it was where the cordite, nicknamed the devil’s porridge, was mixed. More a town than a factory, it stretched 9 miles from Mossband to Eastriggs the same distance as between this House and Wembley stadium.
