§ 6. Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has refused permission for speedway racing to take place in Leicester on Friday evenings at 7 p.m. in view of the fact that the chief industries all work a 5-day week, concluding on Fridays, and that the Leicestershire coal field operates a 5-day week for three weeks out of four, and whether he will reconsider his decision.
§ Mr. EdeI am arranging to review my decisions on the applications for mid-week speedway racing to which I was not able to agree.
§ Mr. JannerMay I point out to my right hon. Friend that his answer will give a considerable amount of satisfaction to workers in Leicester who have done such splendid work in the production drive and who really do deserve relaxation on the Friday evenings when they are so keen to attend these races?
