HC Deb 06 December 1950 vol 482 c60W
73. Commander Noble

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what have been the annual receipts of the Government lottery in Gibraltar since its inception.

Mr. J. Griffiths

Receipts between October, 1947, when the first draw was held, and the end of that year were £16,000. Net receipts for 1948 were £64,000. I have not yet received final figures for 1949, but the revised estimate for that year was £79,000 and the estimate for this year is £80,000.
