HC Deb 05 March 1928 vol 214 c827W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he finds the returns of the Betting Duty adequate as compared with the expense of collection; and whether he is considering its abolition?

Mr. SAMUEL

I do not regard the yield of the Betting Duty as inadequate compared with the estimated cost of its collection. As regards the second part of the question, I am unable to anticipate the Budget statement.
