§ 23. Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of recent happenings in connection with sweepstakes organised in Ireland, and the extensive public interest taken in them, he will now consider whether a full inquiry should be instituted as to whether the existing law governing sweepstakes and lotteries should either be strengthened or relaxed?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have received no further information which would enable me to add anything to the answers which I have previously given on this question.
§ Mr. DAYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the present situation is bringing the law into ridicule, especially in view of recent decisions?
§ Mr. CLYNESI admit that there is dissatisfaction, but it does not necessarily follow that an inquiry will improve the position.
