§ 5. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has looked further into the question of stage plays which have been banned by the Censor as undesirable but are presented on Sundays by semi-public associations; and whether any action is intended?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSYes, Sir. The Lord Chamberlain, in consultation with my Department, has framed new conditions to govern the performance of stage plays on Sunday, and the matter is now being taken up with the licensees of the theatres. I will let the hon. arid gallant Member know when the conditions are settled.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill that include the ban on plays that have been censored otherwise for public performance?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have said that the conditions are not quite finally settled, Ina when they are, I will send them to the hon. and gallant Gentleman.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYThank you.
