asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that discrimination by commanding officers against the Rugby League code is taking place in the matter of issuing kit and the allocation of grounds; whether he is aware that these facilities are freely given in the case of the Rugby Union code; and whether he will investigate charges of partiality in this matter made by the Leeds Rugby League Supporters' Organisation, a copy of which has been sent to him.

I am not aware of any such discrimination. If my hon. Friend will provide details of the cases he has in mind, they will be investigated.
