HC Deb 17 June 1867 vol 187 c1938
LORD ERNEST BRUCE

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department. When the measure promised early this Session by his predecessor in office for the better regulation of Theatres and other places of public entertainment in the Metropolis will be laid before this House?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

said, he was not aware that any measure was actually promised or brought forward. At all events, he himself had never seen any measure on the subject, and was not therefore in a position to say that he should bring one in.
