HC Deb 14 November 1911 vol 31 c336W
Mr. FIELD

asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been directed to the evils arising from the international system of gambling in options and futures; and whether it is intended to take any action in respect thereto?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have seen certain pamphlets and articles on the subject. I do not think that such abuses as may arise in this connection are of a character which could be remedied by legislation.
