HC Deb 19 December 1912 vol 45 cc1723-4W
Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that since the Government's book on foreign legislative measures respecting gambling in option and future contracts was issued,

the Hungarian Government has promised to introduce a Bill forbidding gambling in wheat, corn, flour, and other agricultural commodities; and whether he will obtain particulars of this project, and lay the same upon the Table for the benefit of the House?

Mr. BUXTON

I have no knowledge of this proposal, but I will take steps to procure information on the subject, and inform my hon. Friend of the result.
