Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 25 Mawrth 1947.
Can the right hon. Gentleman say from his own knowledge, particularly of junior football, and in view of the fact that during the war no such interference took place, that he really desires to restrict mid-week football when it is played at 7 o'clock in the evening? I ask that question because in my own city more people attend the cinemas in one evening than those who attend a junior football match. Will not the Secretary of State do everything in his power to give these working lads an opportunity of playing football? There is no finance involved other than a paltry sum of money paid at the, gate.
