HC Deb 29 January 1934 vol 285 cc43-4W
Mr. J. LOCKWOOD

asked the Home Secretary why he is taking no steps to prevent the sale of Irish sweepstake tickets in this country, in view of the proceedings taken against the Atholl Fund and the Gracie Fields Lottery?

Sir J. GILMOUR

My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension in thinking that no steps are taken to deal with the sale in this country of tickets in the Irish Free State sweepstakes. Suitable action is taken wherever the necessary evidence is available.
