§ Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will so reduce the paper allocation to football pool promoters that the delivery, either by post or by canvassers, of sample coupons and similar material to members of the public by way of advertisement, will cease.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe allocation of paper to football pool promoters is being reduced by a further 15 per cent. approximately, thus bringing the figure allowed to less than 1½ per cent. of prewar. This covers their supplies for coupons, entry forms, advertising matter and other purposes, and the principal promoters have already voluntarily agreed to discontinue the use of canvassers, the issue of copy coupons and the public distribution of advertising matter. The free distribution of entry coupons is prohibited.
