§ 24. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he will give a list in the OFFICIAL REPORT of the dependent territories in which public lotteries have been operated; in how many dependent territories such lotteries continue to be operated; and with what financial result.
§ Mr. WhitlockI am having inquiries made and will publish the results in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as they have been completed.
§ Sir J. Langford-HoltWill the Minister state that it is the Government's view that these things are not immoral and that they produce money?
§ Mr. WhitlockWe leave it to the territories concerned to make proposals. There are in operation in Hong Kong and Gibraltar two public lotteries which I understand are very successful.
