§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Home Secretary the number of dog-racing meetings held each week throughout the country; the approximate estimate of attendance or the average thereof; the total amount of money passing in bets through the totalisator; the amount of paper used for race-card programmes; the amount subsequently collected at the meeting places; and the total number of motor-cars used by persons attending these meetings during the week?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonSince June, 1940, dog racing has been restricted to one meeting a week on each track and I understand that the number of tracks is less than 150. The particulars required to answer the remainder of the Question are not available and, even where they could be obtained, would involve widespread inquiries which would not in present circumstances be justified.
