§ 17. Wing-Commander Jamesasked the Home Secretary whether, in prohibiting or curtailing boxing entertainments, regard will be had to the difference between programmes arranged by, or in conjunction with, the Services' authorities, whereby large sums are raised for charities and services funds, and entertainments organised upon an ordinary commercial basis?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThe point raised by my hon. and gallant Friend will certainly he borne in mind.
§ Mr. ShinwellWill the right hon. Gentleman also consider the desirability of permitting entertainments of this kind to 786 proceed as long as they do not place a heavy strain upon our transport facilities and other national resources?
§ Mr. MorrisonThat factor is being kept in mind.
§ Sir H. WilliamsIs not it just as important to provide amusement for the civilian population as well as for the troops?
§ Mr. MorrisonAll relevant considerations will be borne in mind.
