§ 14. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether, in regard to the closing orders adopted by the Exmouth Local Authority, under the Shops Acts, he is satisfied that those orders are being enforced?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe local authority responsible for making and enforcing Orders under the Shops Acts in the Exmouth district is the Devon County Council. I am informed by the council that the Orders are duly enforced in this area, and that during the last two years they have received no complaint, but that they understand that a complaint addressed to the Exmouth Urban District Council is about to be sent on to them. This complaint will be investigated in due course and I will communicate with the hon. Member when I learn the result.
