§ 5. Mr. D. Marshallasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that schools are unable to obtain footballs; and if he will allow priority to schools in view of the importance of sport to the health of young people.
§ Mr. MarquandWe have received very few complaints that schools cannot get footballs and have been able to satisfy these by arrangement with the manufacturers for providing supplies to former priority users who cannot otherwise obtain them. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind and will send me details, I shall be glad to look into the matter.
