HC Deb 23 November 1931 vol 260 cc43-4
75. Mr. REMER

asked the Home Secretary whether it is his intention to set up an inquiry into the whole question of Sunday performances, with a view to arriving at some agreed basis on which permanent and agreed legislation can be introduced before the Sunday Performances (Temporary Regulation) Act lapses in October next?

Sir H. SAMUEL

This subject is receiving close consideration with a view to an early decision being reached as to the course to be pursued. The facts were fully discussed in connection with the Bill presented to the late Parliament, and I doubt whether an inquiry would elicit any fresh information or conduce to an agreement being reached.
