HC Deb 01 July 1963 vol 680 cc4-5W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Minister of Labour by what authority the manager of the Government training centre at Cippenham, Slough, has prohibited the distribution of football pool coupons at the trainees' hostel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hare

Normal postal distribution of football pool coupons to trainees residing in the Cippenham hostel is permitted. What has been stopped is the organised collection of coupons and stake money by a trainee acting as a commission agent. Gambling and betting on Government premises are forbidden by long-established rules, of which every trainee has a copy.
