§ 38. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on his decision to relieve the Totalisator Board of making any betting levy to the Horserace Betting Levy Board.
§ Mr. MaudlingThe Board could not be expected to contribute to the levy for the financial year 1970–71, when it was in deficit. Having regard to the scale of its past contributions, it also seemed to me right that this deficit should be offset against its liability to contribute in respect of the current year.
