§ Mr. BROADasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that, in many parts 2577W of the country, young persons are employed in cinemas for 60 hours per week at low rates of wages; and whether he will take action to protect the interests of these young persons?
Mr. HENDERSONThere are no statutory provisions regulating the conditions of employment of young persons above school age in cinemas, but the whole question of the conditions of employment of young persons in occupations which are at present unregulated is under the consideration of my Department, and I hope that before long I may be able to find an opportunity of dealing with it.
