HC Deb 11 June 1931 vol 253 c1214W
Major LLEWELLIN

asked the Home Secretary whether any of the tickets purchased in the Irish hospitals lottery by officers of Scotland Yard acting under his instructions drew prizes in the ballot?

Mr. CLYNES

I have given no instructions for the purchase of tickets, but I understand that certain tickets were bought by Metropolitan Police officers in the execution of their duty, and I am informed that no ticket so purchased drew a prize.
