HC Deb 08 December 1960 vol 631 c163W
73. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, concurrently with the inquiry being conducted by the Jockey Club, he will consider, with a view to introducing legislation, what more effective means can be found to prosecute the culprits in cases in which racehorses have been drugged either to win or lose, with detriment to the good name of British racing.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I think the right course is to see whether the subcommittee which the Jockey Club have set up makes any recommendations for legislation. If it does, they will, of course, be considered.
