§ 64. Mr. DIXEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is in a position to say whether he has now come to a decision on the question of taxation of betting?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLMy hon. Friend will not be surprised, I am sure, to hear that I cannot anticipate the Budget statement.
§ Sir H. CAUTLEYWould the right hon. Gentleman make inquiry of our Ambassador in Paris and see whether the French Government are not now taxing betting by bookmakers in France and consider their method of licensing and taxation of bets before deciding finally on introducing a measure for taxing betting in this country?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am looking into the subject, as into a, good many cater subjects, and I will not overlook that particular aspect.
