HC Deb 07 March 1947 vol 434 c123W
Colonel Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he proposes to take steps, during the period of emergency, to impose a legal ban on football and other sporting events during working hours.

Mr. Westwood

Dog-racing has in effect been stopped by an Order which forbids the use of any fuel at dog racecourses; mid-week football has by agreement been drastically curtailed. The whole question is, however, under active consideration.
