HC Deb 16 May 1939 vol 347 cc1199-200W
Mr. Erskine Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will increase the facilities given for the provision of boots and sports clothing to the children of poor parents for football and other athletic games in the cities of Scotland?

Mr. Colville

Education Authorities have power to provide children with the equipment necessary for physical training and games under the school system. I have no reason to believe that these powers are inadequate.
