HC Deb 03 March 1927 vol 203 cc531-2
13. Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that there are many bogus self-styled cinema schools in operation in London and some of the principal towns in the provinces; and if he will consider the introduction of legislation for the purpose of regulating these establishments?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

My attention has not previously been called to this matter. If the hon. Member will kindly let me have any information which he possesses I will consider it.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman remember that we do not all want to he regulated by this House?

Colonel DAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman also bear in mind that there is a great deal of fraud going on with these cinema schools in which the public are being defrauded, and will he take precautions to stop it?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I will bear in mind both views of the Labour party.
