HC Deb 20 March 1933 vol 276 cc45-6
76. Mr. CLYDE WILSON

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to a fatality which occurred at an all-in wrestling contest at Sheffield and the fact that similar contests are taking place in many parts of the country; and whether he will take steps to amend the law so as to enable local licensing authorities to regulate and control this form of entertainment?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have seen a reference to this contest in the Press and I am making inquiry into the circum- stances. I have no information that similar contests are frequent, and I am not at present in a position to say whether any amendment of the law is necessary.
