§ 80. Sir H. CRAIKasked the Home Secretary whether he will appoint a Committee of Inquiry into the moral and physical effect of cinema shows, as to which doubts are entertained by those interested in the welfare of the young and which are increasing at an alarming rate?
§ Mr. BRACEI do not think it is necessary at the present time to appoint a Committee to inquire into the matter. A great deal of attention is being given to the subject by the local authorities, with whom the power of control under the Cinematograph Act rests, and it is also being carefully watched by the Home Office.
§ Sir H. CRAIKMay I ask whether the self-constituted Commission now acting has any legal right to the name or any authority to bear it?
§ Mr. BRACENo body has any right to call itself a Commission. That right ought to be reserved to bodies appointed by the Sovereign or by Statute.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill my hon. Friend, therefore, at once look into the establishment of what is known as the "Tariff Reform Commission"?
