§ 46. Mr. Gammansasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the amount of tax collected from greyhound bookmakers during the four weeks starting on 9th August.
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)About £240,000.
§ Mr. GammansIs it not a fact that the Chancellor expected nearer £100,000 a week, and do these figures mean that the estimate may have to be revised?
§ Mr. Glenvil HallNo, it is much too early yet to say whether the original estimate, which was £3 million in this year, will be reached.
