HC Deb 26 January 1968 vol 757 cc843-4

Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Resolved, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to make, in place of certain statutory provisions relating to Sunday observance and the playing of games, provision, in relation to Sunday, for preventing payments being made in certain circumstances in the case of certain spectacles taking place during certain hours, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament of any increase in the sums payable out of moneys so provided in respect of rate support grants to local authorities in England and Wales which may arise from the inclusion, in the expenditure relevant to the fixing of the aggregate amount of those grants, of expenses incurred under the said Act of the present Session by a local authority in Wales or Monmouthshire in connection with the holding of a local poll to determine either whether sports and games where payment is made by spectators should be allowed in the area of the authority after a specified time on Sundays or whether public entertainments and dancing where payment is made for admission should be allowed in that area after a specified time on Sundays.—[Mr. Harold Lever.]
