74. Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much his Department received from Scotland in pool betting duty from football pools, greyhound racing totalisators and horse racing totalisators, respectively, during 1951 and 1952.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Pool betting duty does not apply to betting on horse racecourse totalisators. Receipts in Scotland from football pools were £344,104 in 1951 and £209,301 in 1952, and from greyhound racing totalisators £400,369 in 1951 and £382,726 in 1952.
