HC Deb 06 December 1932 vol 272 cc1420-1
28. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary if he is now in a position to make any statement with regard to the problems arising from the recent growth of tote clubs throughout the country?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply given to questions by my hon. Friends the Members for Streatham (Sir W. Lane Mitchell) and Dudley (Mr. Joel) on the 24th November last.

Mr. DAVIES

Can the right hon. Gentleman indicate when it may be possible to make some announcement on this very simple issue, and to give some information as to his decision?

Sir J. GILMOUR

As the hon. Gentleman knows, there is a case pending. I think it very probable that a decision in that case may be reached this week, or, at any rate, at an early date.

Forward to
