HC Deb 26 April 1909 vol 4 c28
Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the revenue that might be secured to the country by the Government taking for national purposes one-half of the gate-money taken at all cricket, hockey, football, and horse and dog racing meetings; and if he will take the necessary steps to consider the same?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend has doubtless taken the necessary steps to consider the hon. Member's proposal.
