The Home Secretary said he was personally favourable to boxing. There ware, however, difficulties, and he pointed out that about five people were killed a year through boxing,

Lord Lonsdale, the president of the British Boxing Board of Control, was, he said, against the proposed alterations. He thought, however, that the deputation had better introduce their Bill and he would not have it blocked. A Select Committee to inquire into all the facts could then be asked for with a view to getting an agreed Bill next session.

Commander Kenworthy stated afterwards that he will discuss the matter again with the Home Secretary and ask for Home Office officials to look into the Bill and see if they can agree on a measure to be introduced into the House.
