§ 101. Mr. Austinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the desirability of excluding young persons from admission to greyhound racing tracks, and of the voluntary efforts made in this connection by various managements, he will consider taking such steps as are necessary to make this exclusion one of general application.
§ Mr. EdeBetting with young persons under 18 is already prohibited. Legislation to prohibit their admission to tracks when accompanied by parents could not be justified. I have not been able to form any opinion on the size and urgency of the remainder of the problem which I am willing to discuss with my hon. Friend and any other interested parties.
