§ 59. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Minister of Labour when he received a delegation from the Trades Union Congress requesting the Government to bring in legislation to include, theatres, rehearsal rooms, television and recording studios and backstage and performing areas of cabarets and restaurants within the provisions of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963; and what action he is taking in this regard.

§ Mr. GunterI received a delegation from the Trades Union Congress about this matter on 27th November, 1964. As I told them, I consider that the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act should be extended to cover theatres, but I can see no prospect of introducing the necessary legislation in the present session of Parliament. I intend in due course to explore whether time can be found for it in a future session.
