§ Lieut.-Colonel SPENDER-CLAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the fact that divergent views have been expressed by licensing justices as to the necessity for obtaining a music licence when a wireless receiving set is installed on licensed premises; and what action he proposes to take to secure uniformity?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThere are no steps which I can take in this matter. The decisions depend on mixed questions of law and fact, as to which I have no jurisdiction. If any applicant for a licence thinks that he has been wrongly refused and desires the decision overruled, he must have recourse to the Courts of Law, which alone can determine the point authoritatively.
