– in the House of Commons at on 26 May 1938.
asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the Lancashire branch of the council for the Preservation of Rural England has recently passed a resolution in favour of effective legislation to enable local authorities to protect their districts from offence to local amenities caused by disfiguring advertisements; and whether he can hold out any hope for the introduction of such legislation?
Yes, Sir. This matter is now before a Committee, set up in accordance with the proposal made during the debate on 8th December last, and I think it will be best to await their report.
Has the right hon. Gentleman any idea when the Committee will report?
No, Sir, but I think it will be in the comparatively near future.
