§ 26. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REIDasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the disapproval aroused by a recent use by the Vice Chancellor of Oxford University of the powers of censorship conferred under Section 10 of the Theatres Act, 1843, upon the Vice Chancellors of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but withdrawn from the Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University by the Cambridge University and Corporation Act, 1894; and if he will consider introducing legislation to repeal so much of Section 10 of the Theatres Act, 1843, as is still in force?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As at present advised, I do not propose to introduce legislation such as my hon. and gallant Friend suggests.
