HC Deb 30 July 1866 vol 184 c1663
LORD ERNEST BRUCE

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government, early next Session, to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of Theatres and places of Public Entertainment in accordance with the Report of a Committee of this House on Theatrical Licences and Regulations?

MR. WALPOLE

Sir, this is a subject which must undergo considerable investigation during the recess. I cannot say whether any Bill will be brought in in accordance with the Report of the Committee; but a Bill will certainly be prepared on the subject.
