Theatres Act 1843 (Hansard, 25 January 1993)

HC Deb 25 January 1993 vol 217 c556W 556W

§ 24. Mr. Simon Coombs
To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the passing of the Theatres Act 1843.

§ Mr. Key
Although we have no particular plans to mark this anniversary, I am grateful to my hon. Friend for having drawn it to the attention of the House. As he will know, the Theatres Act greatly liberalised the provision of theatre in London in the last century.
