§ MR. HOGANI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has observed that the Theatres and Music Halls Committee of the London County Council has reported that bazaars and public meetings are frequently held in premises that are utterly unsuitable for such purposes; and whether, during the Recess, he will, 398 in the interests of the public safety, frame a Measure that will give local authorities full rights of jurisdiction and control over all buildings used for public assemblies?
§ SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEYAs I stated in reply to a Question in this House last May, I am considering this matter with a view to possible legislation.
