HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 cc244-5W
Sir C. Edwards

asked the President of the Board of Trade the number of clothing coupons allowed to the Welsh Football Association; and also to the Welsh Rugby Union and the English Rugby Union, separately.

Mr. Belcher

Block grants are made to the four national Rugby Unions and Football Associations which they share, by agreement, between themselves. For the present season, the Welsh Football Association received 8,200 coupons, the Welsh Rugby Union 1,462 coupons and the English Rugby Union 4,262 coupons. In addition, a further 1,000 coupons were allowed to the English Rugby Union for the acquisition of frozen stocks of jerseys made pre-war in club colours.
