§ MR. YOXALL (Nottingham, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government intend to act upon the judicial opinion expressed in the case of Regina v. Humphries, 2nd April, 1898, as to the need for legislation, and upon the Report of the Lords' Select Committee on Betting, which recommends that amendments in the law be made to remedy the uncertainty as to what constitutes a place within the meaning of the Betting Acts.
(Ansnered by Mr. Secretary Ritche.) I am not in a position to promise legislation on this subject.
