§ 22. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he is aware that a tax on betting is imposed throughout the Commonwealth of Australia; will he inquire as to what was the sum collected during the latest year for which figures are available; and to what that sum amounts per head of the population?
§ Mr. AMERYThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have not information as to sums derived from this source later than that which appears in the Report from the Select Committee on Betting Duty, 1923, but I will make inquiry and communicate further with my hon. Friend.
