§ MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, Mid.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there are any officers directly responsible for the effective carrying out of the instructions to theatrical managers against the blocking of gangways and the overcrowding of seats.
§ *SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYI am informed that officers of the London County Council inspect theatres and other places of amusement with the object indicated in the question, and when they find irregularities in a theatre under the control of the Lord Chamberlain they report to that official.
