§ 119. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the allocation of .35 of a coupon made to the Rugby Union, the Football Association and other national games organisations per player is inadequate, in view of the fact that a jersey requires four coupons, a pair of shorts three coupons, a pair of stockings two coupons and a pair of boots five coupons, making a total of 14 coupons; and if he will re- 98W consider this allocation in order that thousands of young men may not be debarred from playing games during the coming winter season.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. The allocation is intended to meet cases of special need and not to absolve players from spending some of their personal coupons for this purpose, and I could only do more at the expense of other people.
