HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 c1207W
Mr. Markham

asked the Home Secretary whether he is considering the removal of the ban on private views of art exhibitions; and when will he be in a position to make a statement?

Sir J. Anderson

I am not aware of any such ban. The Public Entertainments Order applies only to exhibitions to which persons are admitted on payment and even under that Order a very wide latitude is allowed.
