HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 c818W
Mr. Meale

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the amounts of monies given by the Horse Race Levy Board to each individual horse racecourse in the United Kingdom since 1983.

Mr. John Patten

The powers of the Horserace Betting Levy Board extend only to Great Britain. I understand from the board that the annual financial records of the board do not identify all the information required. Some of the grants it makes are distributed through other racing bodies.

Mr. Meale

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all horse racing courses in the United Kingdom by region showing the number of races held at each course and the levels of prize monies at each course since 1983.

Mr. John Patten

This information is not held by the Home Office or by the Horserace Betting Levy Board.
