HC Deb 08 February 1949 vol 461 c43W
99. Mr. Nally

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a full statement as to the circumstances under which he has decided that there can be no general review of the paper allocations of the major football pool organisations before next season.

Mr. J. Edwards

As my hon. Friend was informed on 25th January, the allocation of paper to the individual pool promoters is at present fixed at levels which were agreed with them in October, 1947. These levels were maintained at the beginning of the current season and I do not feel that it would be appropriate to introduce any changes at this stage in the football season.
