§ Sir R. COOPERasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to 1067W advertisements of the Golden Ballot, in which prizes of a motor car, a house, and money are offered; if this ballot is an infringement of the Lottery Act; and, if so, what steps are being taken in the matter?
§ Mr. SHORTTMy attention has been called to the matter. On the information available, it is difficult to say whether there has been or will be an infringement of the law, but the Attorney-General and the Director of Public Prosecutions have had the question before them, and have not advised a prosecution.
