HC Deb 15 November 1945 vol 415 cc2325-6
64. Mr. Daines

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the widespread evasion of Income Tax by cash bookmakers; and if he will consider a graduated stand tax as a practical means of collection.

Mr. Dalton

I should be much obliged if my hon. Friend would let me have any information in his possession on this matter. I would then consider what action it might be advisable to take.

Mr. Daines

Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer consider, in an unofficial capacity, spending a night at the "Dogs" in order to see for himself?

Mr. Dalton

Perhaps my hon. Friend and I will go together.
