HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c201W
94. Mr. Nally

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action is taken by his Department to ensure that the undertaking given by football pool firms not to supplement their agreed paper allowances by purchases from printers and others holding paper stocks is being honoured.

Mr. Belcher

I have no reason to believe that the football pool promoters are not observing their undertaking. It is the practice of the Department to institute checks from time to time where such undertakings are given.
