HC Deb 15 February 1927 vol 202 cc760-1
76. Colonel WOODCOCK

asked the Home Secretary the number of prosecutions to date under the Betting Duty Regulations?

Mr. McNEILL

The total number of prosecutions in connection with the Betting Duty was 44 up to the 8th February.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

How many of these prosecutions were successful?

Mr. McNEILL

I am not certain, but my impression is that there was a conviction in every case.

Colonel DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many were for avoiding the Betting Duty, or for not taking out betting licences?

Mr. McNEILL

I could not say without notice.
