HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 cc1392-3
19. Mr. HURD

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that, at a public football match held under influential local auspices at Midsomer Norton on Saturday last, demobilised soldiers and sailors were prevented from making a collection, which had been previously advertised, in aid of all crippled and disabled men in the district; and by what authority that action was taken and for what reason?

Mr. PRATT

My right. hon. Friend's attention has not previously been called to this incident, but he has asked for information with regard to it and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
