§ * MR. HORNER (Lambeth, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, having regard to the number of children employed throughout the country in the evening in theatrical performances, he will consent to such modifications in the Employment of Children Bill as will not debar such children from being so employed.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. COCHRANE,) Ayrshire, N.The point appears to be a proper one for the Committee on the Bill to entertain, and my right hon. friend will give it careful consideration.
§ * MR. HORNERAs so many people are interested in this matter cannot the hon. Gentleman say something more satisfactory?
§ MR. COCHRANEI am afraid I can add nothing to my reply.
