HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 cc223-4W
Mr. Challen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is yet in a position to state the result of his discussions on the recommendations of Mr. R. Moelwyn Hughes, K.C., as a result of his inquiry into the disaster at the Bolton Wanderers football ground on 9th March, 1946; and what steps he is taking to expedite a decision having regard to the fact that the football season will be commencing in about a month's time and the consequent urgency of this matter.

Mr. Ede

These recommendations involve legislation which clearly could not be effective in time for the beginning of the football season. I am not at present in a position to announce any decision on the recommendations, but I will do so as soon as I can.
