§ Mr. Hardyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why the tax on speedway racing is 45 per cent. against 15 per cent. on football, cricket, boxing, etc., since speedway racing is a non-betting sport similar to the others.
§ Sir S. CrippsSpeedway racing is taxed at the same rate as other motor racing. Betting is not a factor in determining liability to Entertainments Duty.
