MINISTER OR MEDALS

SIR,—'Mr. Wilson may also be able to announce a Minister responsible for sport, arts and the youth service.'—The Times, October 20.

I know the poor fellow's been fairly hard pressed recently and he's probably fallen asleep before the rest of us in front of the evening transmissions from Tokyo. So I wonder if he knows what has happened to France out there. And France has a Minister of Sport, too.
