HC Deb 28 July 1931 vol 255 cc2107-8
63. Lieut.-Colonel GAULT

asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to lottery tickets being transmitted to England from foreign countries by post; and if he will take such steps as may be necessary to stop this practice and so discourage money from being sent out of England for this purpose?

Mr. ATTLEE

Communications relating to lotteries are received from time to

time in mails from the Continent. The transmission of such communications through the post in this country is illegal, and if they come under observation they are withheld from delivery.
