HC Deb 23 March 1950 vol 472 c142W
119. Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether under the Police Acts and Public Order Act he will take action to prevent the road and pavements being blocked by the crowds that accumulate at football grounds for the purposes of collecting Football Association cup final tickets.

Mr. Ede

The situation on this occasion was exceptional and not likely to occur again. I will, however, communicate with the Football Association and ask them to consider arrangements for the sale of tickets which would avoid the accumulation of large crowds.
