§ 22. Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that numbers of tickets for the Calcutta Sweepstake on the Derby are being obtained for the public through various sources; and whether he has issued any instructions to the police to take action in the matter?
§ Mr. CLYNESNo evidence of the commission of any criminal offence has come to my notice.
§ Mr. DAYMay I ask whether the decision as laid down as to the sale of tickets also applies to the sale of numbers of tickets—sales of tickets for the Calcutta Sweepstake?
§ Mr. CLYNESI should require notice of that question.
§ Mr. HAYCOCKIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the questioner himself has purchased these tickets?
§ Mr. CLYNESIf I were to know that, action might be taken.
