HC Deb 04 March 1924 vol 170 c1168
51. Mr. DAVID GRENFELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government have taken into consideration the Report of the Select Committee on Betting Duty; and, if so, whether it is proposed to impose such a duty?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The Government have carefully considered the Report of the Select Committee, and after reviewing the question of imposing a betting duty in all its aspects, they have come to the conclusion that it would be against the public interest to make the changes in the law that would be involved.
