HC Deb 28 July 1927 vol 209 c1472W
Mr. FENBY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that in Burma money is being raised in aid of the Rangoon University fund by means of sales of contracts for gambling; and whether the sale of these gambling concessions receives the support of the authorities?

Earl WINTERTON

The practice was confined to one or two districts, and was suppressed by the Local Government as soon as it came to their notice.
