§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill."
§ 10.25 p.m.
§ Mr. GLOSSOPThis Clause deals with the interpretation of the various expressions in Part II of the Bill. We are told that money includes a cheque, bank note, postal order or money order. Previously, in Clause 20 (1, e) we have decided that it is illegal in connection with lotteries to transfer money overseas in the form of cheque, bank note, postal order or money order. May I ask the Home Secretary whether stamps are included in the definition of money? We have been warned of the necessity of guarding against the unscrupulous person, but as a layman I think that here is a loophole by which such persons can evade the Bill by transmitting money in the form of postage stamps.
Captain CROOKSHANKThe answer to the hon. Gentleman is to be found in the various Government Amendments which have been moved from time to time to add after the word "money" in the different Clauses, the words "or valuable thing."
