HC Deb 28 March 1927 vol 204 c886W
Mr. FORREST

asked the Home Secretary how many local authorities have adopted and put into force the Advertisements Regulation Act, 1925?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

This is not an adoptive Act, but confers on local authorities the power of making by-laws. I have confirmed by-laws made by 24 authorities; and in 24 other cases bylaws have been provisionally approved and are awaiting the completion of the procedure prescribed by the Act.
