HC Deb 15 March 1916 vol 80 c2078
50. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, now that the State is participating in the profits that may be derived from certain race-horses, he will recognise the desirability of obtaining further revenue from racing, and will take into consideration the system adopted in France for securing revenue from this sport for the breeding of horses and other purposes?

Mr. McKENNA

I am not a ware of the particular system adopted in France to which my hon. Friend refers.

Sir C. HENRY

Will my right hon. Friend inform himself of the system, or, if I supply him with the information, will he consider it?

Mr. McKENNA

If my hon. Friend will give me the information, I shall be very glad to receive it from him.
