§ 25. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Home Secretary from which bodies he received protests in regard to the football match on 4th December between a team of German footballers and an English team; and whether he has obtained from these bodies a list of countries with whose teams they would raise no objection to matches being played in this country?
§ Sir J. SIMONHon. Members will have seen in the Press the letter which I wrote to the Secretary of the Trades Union Congress on the subject of this football match. There will be general satisfaction that this sporting fixture has been carried through in the best spirit and without serious incident, and in these circumstances, I hardly think that it is necessary to supply the list which my hon. Friend suggests.
§ Mr. HICKSWhile everyone is pleased that there has been no demonstration, does not the right hon. Gentleman think there would have been a demonstration but for the wise action of the Trades Union Congress?
