HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c109W
125. Mr. Nally

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the results to date of the arrangement made by him with the leading football pool promoters under which officials of his Department were given the opportunity of interviewing prospective employees of football pool firms with a view to persuading them to enter more useful employment; and give figures of the number of such interviews that have taken place and the number of persons accepting other employment as a consequence.

Mr. Isaacs

The special arrangements to which my hon. Friend refers were discontinued on 6th October, 1947, when the Control of Engagement Order, 1947, came into force. I have not available the results of the special arrangements up to that date.
