HC Deb 01 May 1933 vol 277 c508
46. Sir WILLIAM DAVISON

asked the Home Secretary whether he can now inform the House as to the date when he expects to receive the report of the Royal Commission on Lotteries, Sweepstakes, etc.?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer returned on 27th April to the question on this subject put by my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset East (Mr. Hall-Caine).

Sir W. DAVISON

Does my right hon. Friend realise the urgency of this matter; is he aware that new foreign lotteries are being advertised in this country almost every day, and that it is very desirable that a decision should be arrived at as soon as possible?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It is hoped that we may have this report before Whitsun.
