§ 7. Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary what has been the result of the inquiries made by his Department from the various licensing authorities as to the 998 working of the Theatrical Employers Registration Act; and if he will give the House full particulars of the same?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have now received the replies of the representative registration authorities whom I consulted as to the working of the Act, and these replies are under consideration. I am not yet in a position to make any statement.
§ Colonel DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say how many replies he has received, and how many authorities he has consulted?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have received replies from all the authorities whom I consulted, but I cannot charge my memory with the number of them at the moment.
