HC Deb 08 December 1943 vol 395 c981W
Mr. Sorensen

Mr. Peake

Proposals which the Home Secretary made in 1941 for empowering local authorities to permit theatrical performances on Sundays during the war were rejected by this House, and as he has previously stated he is not prepared to re-open the question without some clearer indication than he has at present that the House wishes to reconsider its previous decision.
