HC Deb 11 May 1939 vol 347 c678
52. Mr. Denman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the increase in undesirable employment of children for purposes of public entertainment; and whether he will have an inquiry made with a view to stopping it?

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Samuel Hoare)

I have received certain representations about the employment of children in entertainments, and I propose to ask the Local Authorities Advisory Committee on the Children and Young Persons Act to consider the question.
