HC Deb 02 April 1935 vol 300 cc195-6
36. Mr. EDWARD WILLIAMS

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fact that the use of the Royal Albert Hall has been repeatedly refused to certain political organisations while it has been granted to others, he will introduce legislation to amend the Royal Albert Hall Acts so as to prevent any political considerations affecting the choice of persons to whom the use of the hall is granted?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is discrimination against organisations holding certain views, and will he inform the trustees that that must cease?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir. The Albert Hall Acts are Private Acts for which no Government has any responsibility.
