HC Deb 06 November 1947 vol 443 c251W
107. Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps so to amend the L.C.C. General Powers Act (1947) as to enable civic authorities to sponsor and support theatrical productions given under cover as well as in the open air, bearing in his mind the vagaries of the English climate.

Mr. Bevan

This is a local Act and any question of petitioning Parliament for its amendment would be a matter for the local authorities concerned.
