HC Deb 03 June 1918 vol 106 c1251W
Sir F. BANBURY

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the action of the Chief Commissioner of Police in prohibiting lotteries, tombolas, etc., within the Metropolitan Police district whilst no action is taken or warning given against them in areas outside the Metropolitan Police district; and whether he will advise the chief con stables of counties of the illegality of these lotteries or advise the Chief Commissioner of Police of their legality?

Sir G. CAVE

The attention of chief constables throughout the country is being drawn to the warning issued through the public Press by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.
