HC Deb 11 December 1952 vol 509 cc92-3W
108. Mr. Beattie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total amount of revenue collected by the Exchequer each year up to and including the end of the financial year 1952 derived from football or other pool stakes placed by punters in Northern Ireland with pools operated in Great Britain; and to which Exchequer the tax so collected is credited.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am afraid that no figures are available. Pool Betting Duty is paid weekly by promoters on the total stake moneys received, irrespective of source, and in the case of promoters operating in Great Britain accrues in full to the Imperial Exchequer, in the same way as it accrues to the Northern Ireland Exchequer in the case of promoters operating in Northern Ireland.
