HC Deb 20 July 1933 vol 280 cc2000-1
65. Mr. GROVES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the totalisator is legally in operation in any Crown Colonies?

Major GEORGE DAVIES (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. The totalisator is in use in Gibraltar, but my right hon. Friend is not in a position to say as to the other Colonies, though the law in force in a number of them is such as to permit their use.

17. Mr. GROVES

asked the Home Secretary whether he intends to introduce legislation to legalise the totalisator on greyhound tracks?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I regret I am not at present in a position to make any statement upon this subject.

Mr. GROVES

Will the right hon. Gentleman make a statement before we rise for the Recess or early in the Autumn?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Certainly not before we rise.
