HC Deb 04 June 1959 vol 606 c37W
55. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that there is growing concern about the exhibition of horror films in cinemas; and whether he will introduce legislation to ban these undesirable exhibitions.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Local licensing authorities already have power to prohibit or restrict the public exhibition of any film which they consider objectionable, and I do not think there is need for further legislation.
