HC Deb 05 February 1931 vol 247 c2104
47. Mr. DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the nature of any replies he has given to deputations from the London Cinematograph Exhibitors with reference to the present position of the opening of cinemas on Sunday evenings; and can he give the House any further information on this matter?

Mr. CLYNES

I propose to receive a deputation at an early date from the Cinematograph Exhibitors on this subject, and I am to-day receiving a deputation from the London County Council. My hon. Friend may rest assured that a soon as I am in a position to make any statement to this House I shall do so without delay, but he will recognise that the matter is one which requires careful consideration.

Mr. DAY

Can my right hon. Friend say whether the result of these deliberations and conversations with the London County Council will be made public?

Mr. CLYNES

I think that is implied in the terms of my answer.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Are not these cinematograph shows open as it is on Sunday nights, in spite of all that has happened?
