HC Deb 15 July 1948 vol 453 c127W
86. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what conditions totalisators on pony tracks are run and, in particular, if they are managed by the Racecourse Betting Control Board or are similar to those on greyhound race tracks.

Mr. Ede

Under the Betting and Lotteries Act, 1934, a totalisator can only be operated on approved horse racecourses, which include pony tracks, by, or by authority of, the Racecourse Betting Control Board. The two totalisators at present in operation on pony tracks are both operated by the Racecourse Betting Control Board.
