Colonel A. Evansasked the Home Secretary whether, having regard to the large number of troops being granted Sunday leave, and the need for entertainment facilities for the people generally, and in view of the lighting and other restrictions now in force, he will cause an Order-in-Council to be issued allowing 1590W places of entertainment throughout the country to be opened at 1 p.m. on Sundays for the duration of the war, thus bringing into line different hours of opening in those areas where cinemas have already been giving Sunday performances?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am not in a position to make a statement on this subject at present, but the matter is receiving consideration.
