§ 54. Mr. McEnteeasked the Home Secretary whether he will take any steps that may be necessary to compel companies or persons profiting from the running of football or other pools to contribute a proportion of their profits to the hospitals of the country, as is done by cinema proprietors who open their cinemas on Sundays?
§ Sir S. HoareThe hon. Member's suggestion would involve legislation, and I 26 am not in a position to make any statement about legislation on the subject.
§ Mr. McEnteeIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have received several threatening letters since this question appeared on the Paper, and in view of that, will he double the police force?
§ Sir S. HoareWhether that is so or not, I am afraid there is no time for legislation.
