HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 cc212-3W
Mr. Denville

asked the Home Secretary whether he will, for the duration of the war, remove the statutory prohibition on the use of billiards rooms in licensed houses on Sundays, having regard to the increasing demands of members of His Majesty's Forces who wish to use such billiards rooms and who, being unable to do so, are forced to go to undesirable places where such facilities are available?

Sir J. Anderson

I have not hitherto received any representations on this sub- ject and I am not satisfied that it is desirable to make this alteration in the law.
