HC Deb 22 May 1931 vol 252 c2418W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Labour whether her attention has been drawn to the hours and conditions under which certain cinema employés work; that in some cinemas commissionaires are called upon to work from 9 a.m. until 10.40 p.m., with 1½ hours free for dinner and an hour for tea and one night off weekly from 9 p.m., with pay of £2 per week, less insurance; and whether she proposes to take any action in the matter?
