HC Deb 01 February 1934 vol 285 cc517-8
14. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary when it is proposed to introduce a Bill to deal with betting and gambling?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Soon, I hope, but I am not in a position to be more precise than that.

Mr. DAVIES

If I put a question down in about a fortnight's time, could the right hon. Gentleman be a little more precise then?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The hon. Gentleman had better put it down.

Mr. T. SMITH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether totalisators on dog-racing tracks will be dealt with in the Bill?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I could not anticipate the provisions of the Bill.

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman likely to bring the Bill in during this Session, and before the Summer Recess?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Oh, yes, Sir.
