HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 c1898
8. Captain PETER MACDONALD

asked the Home Secretary whether in view of the urgency of passing legislation during this Session, he will state whether the final Report of the Royal Commission on Lotteries and Betting may be expected before Whitsuntide?

Mr. HACKING

I am unable to add anything to the answer given on the 27th March, in reply to the question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for South Kensington (Sir W. Davison).

Captain MACDONALD

Has the right hon. Member any idea when this commission will report, in view of the fact that it is some time since it ceased taking evidence.

Mr. HACKING

The answer is given in the reply to the question to which I have referred on the 27th March, when my right hon. Friend said that the final recommendations might be expected in two or three months' time.
