§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he can state the annual amount spent in this country on dog-racing tracks for 1939 and each year afterwards; and whether he is satisfied that the continuation of this form of amusement is justified.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI have no official information which would enable me to answer the first part of the Question. As regards the second part, the position is that meetings for dog racing have been considerably restricted, and I do not feel justified in imposing any further restrictions.
