HC Deb 16 March 1948 vol 448 cc223-4W
79. Mr. Nally

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware, of the decision of the Football Pools Promoters Association to expel from membership a firm Whose name has been supplied to him; that such decision was taken because of the, failure of such firm to observe voluntary undertakings given designed to economise in labour and materials; and whether it is his intention to continue to recognise this firm as being properly entitled to paper allocation under licence from his Department.

Mr. Belcher

No. So far as I am aware no firm has been expelled. We will at any time consider taking appropriate action if we have evidence that any firm is not complying with the conditions under which licences are issued, and if my hon. Friend is in a position to furnish such evidence I shall be glad to go into the matter.
