HC Deb 17 March 1947 vol 435 c29W
111. Mr. Hollis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any request has been made to the Marylebone Cricket Club that mid-week first-class cricket matches be curtailed or abandoned.

Mr. Ede

I have discussed with representatives of the club the effect of attendance at mid-week first-class cricket matches on productive industry and in view of the size of the attendances His Majesty's Government have decided that no action need be taken.
