HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 c230W
38. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Attorney-General, in view of the fact that the employment of children under the age of 12 years is illegal, if he will instruct the Director of Public Prosecutions to take proceedings against the Independent Television Authority for aiding and abetting a breach of the law.

The Attorney-General

No. The Director of Public Prosecutions has received no evidence which would justify the institution of criminal proceedings.
