HC Deb 09 March 1908 vol 185 cc1112-3
MR. LEA

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet finished considering whether it is desirable to extend the provisions of the Dangerous Performances Acts, 1879 and 1897, to dangerous performances by women of any age; if so, what the result of that consideration has been; and whether we may expect any legislation on the subject, and when a Bill on the subject is likely to be introduced.

MR. GLADSTONE

The Bill which was introduced in 1906 proved to be highly controversial, and it would be useless to proceed with it this session.
