Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the principal Act, says the bill, no licensing poll shall be taken simultaneously with any general election of members of Parliament that may be held at any time before December 31, 1933. The result of the licensing poll taken in November, 1928, is to continue in force until the licensing poll to bo taken simultaneously with the first general election of members of Parliament to be held after December 31, 1933, notwithstanding that the preceding Parliament may have been dissolved before it had been two years in existence.
