Belmont Road Posted 15 October , 2012 Share Posted 15 October , 2012 Does anyone know any details of the State Management Scheme set up in 1916 to control the consumption of alcholol? I am aware that it centred around the armaments factories near Gretna, Longtown and the Carlisle district. What I am especially interested in is the level of compensation given to former landlords when the pubs were taken over. Also were they re-employed to manage the business? Many thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 15 October , 2012 Share Posted 15 October , 2012 Jack If you enter "State Management Scheme 1916" into Google you will get a lot of information about it. TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmania Posted 15 October , 2012 Share Posted 15 October , 2012 Jack This is from the second report, published in 1916, of the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic), appointed under The Defence of the Realm (Amendment) (No 3) Act, 1915: It applies to premises in the State Management Districts. The third report published in 1918 gives a considerable amount of detail on the activities of the Control Board in Carlisle and Gretna. It does not give actual figures as to compenstion only that a large number of licensed premises and breweries were acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmont Road Posted 16 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 16 October , 2012 Thanks to both of you. The web entries to not give the detail so I am grateful for the above. I can only assume that the amounts varied. Is there anywhere a criteria to determine the value of a given property/business?
