HC Deb 17 May 1928 vol 217 cc1183-4
7. Mr. E. BROWN

asked the Home Secretary whether any police reports have been drawn up as to the effect of greyhound racing at Wembley upon gambling; whether the report has been submitted to him; and if he will give the details of the Report?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

In the course of the Debate on the Second Reading of the Dog Racing Bill, I stated the general effect of all the reports received from the police as to dog racing tracks, including Wembley. I do not think it necessary or desirable to give details from confidential reports concerning particular tracks.

Mr. BROWN

Has the attention of the Home Secretary been called to a statement made by the chairman of the National Savings Committee that he had been informed by the police of the contents of these documents?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

No, Sir; that report has not been brought to my notice. If the hon. Member will refer me to the report, of course I will make inquiries.

Mr. BROWN

I refer the right hon. Gentleman to the "Times" newspaper of the 9th instant.
