United Kingdom Alliance

The United Kingdom Alliance , a temperance reform group dedicated to prohibition, formed in Manchester.

Sensing that nationwide prohibition of alcohol was unlikely, the United Kingdom Alliance changed its lobbying efforts to securing Local Option prohibition, which would allow the question to be decided in individual settlements.

Sir Wilfred Lawson introduced the United Kingdom Alliance 's Permissive Bill to Parliament in a bid to give two-thirds of the ratepayers of a parish the power to refuse licences for the sale of liquor.
