HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c396W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has reconsidered the removal of the restrictions imposed on the holding of Sunday concerts for the troops in the light of recent events; and what action he proposes to take and when.

Mr. H. Morrison

The restrictions to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers are the legal provisions which differentiate concerts from variety shows and theatrical performances. The removal of this differentiation would involve so amending the law as to authorise variety shows and theatrical performances on Sunday. On this matter I can add nothing to the reply I gave on 16th December to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leyton (Mr. Sorensen).
