Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the production of undesirable stage plays which have failed to pass the Lord Chamberlain but which are produced on Sunday nights by various associations; that reports of these plays appear in the Press; and whether he will take power to prohibit such production?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe Lord Chamberlain has communicated with me on the subject of performances of stage plays on Sundays in theatres licensed by him, and the matter is at present under consideration.
