HC Deb 28 July 1926 vol 198 c2127W
Colonel DAY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a bet made by a person by wire who does not frequent the racecourse but sends the wire to a bookmaker on the course to back a horse running at the meeting at which the bookmaker is attending will be taxed on the higher or lower scale?

Mr. RONALD McNEILL

The bet in question would be taxed at 3½ per cent.
