HC Deb 19 February 1959 vol 600 c83W
69. Mr. Lagden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that investors who use the totalisator at horse-race meetings pay no tax, whilst investors who use the totalisator at greyhound meetings pay a tax which increases their collective loss by 166⅔ per cent.; and whether he will consider the introduction of a scheme whereby the tax is refunded in any case in which the investor sustains a loss.

Mr. Erroll

I am not sure what the hon. Member has in mind, but I will examine any scheme that he cares to send to me.
