Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 25 Mawrth 1947.
The present position is that the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Football League, and the Scottish Junior Football Association have barred the playing of any football match at which a. charge for admission is made or money raised in any form except on Saturdays or on recognised public holidays in the place where the match is played. These bodies have asked me to receive a deputation to discuss further the question of mid-week matches and arrangements for a meeting are being made. As regards the second part of the Question, I do not think that the holding of matches in the evening would constitute a guarantee against interference with production.
