§ Mr. EdeHis Majesty's Government has reviewed the question of mid-week greyhound race meetings in the light of the representations made last week to my342W right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and has decided that, for the licensing year beginning on 1st July next, it will raise no objection to one mid-week fixture after 7.30 p.m. in addition to one fixture on Saturday after 1 p.m., provided that the mid-week fixtures are held on the same day so as to exclude travelling from one track to another. I shall shortly be seeing representatives of the greyhound racing interests to discuss details.
