Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Order made by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, extending Section 1 of the Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932, to the Urban District of Bromyard, a copy of which was laid before this House on 15th February, be approved.—[Sir H. Lucas-Tooth.]

Would the Under-Secretary say whether in this case a poll was taken and if so, what was the vote on it?

A poll was taken and 593 electors voted, which was 46·8 per cent, of the electorate. Of these, 430 were in favour and 163 against, giving a majority of 267 in favour.

Question put, and agreed to.
