HC Deb 17 March 1925 vol 181 cc2062-3
57. Sir NEWTON MOORE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the necessity of seeking contributions to the revenue from those avenues which have not already been exploited, he will adopt the view of the Select Committee on Betting that the imposition of a duty on betting was practicable, and take the necessary steps to secure to the revenue the £5,000,000 it was estimated this tax would produce?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am unable to anticipate the Budget statement.

Sir NEWTON MOORE

Is it not a fact that Income Tax is collected from bookmakers at the present time?
