§ Mr. ThorntonThere is no information available on gambling expenditure classified by the Registrar General's social groups. However, for all households in the country in 1964 it is estimated from the Family Expenditure Survey that the average net household expenditure on gambling—i.e. payments less winnings— was about three-quarters of 1 per cent. of household income. This estimate is based on a small survey and therefore has a margin of error.
