HC Deb 02 August 1961 vol 645 c196W
Mr. Wigg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the number of bookmakers' permits and the number of betting office licences that have been granted for the Metropolitan Police district and for such other areas in Great Britain for which the information is conveniently available.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I regret that the figures are not yet complete, even for the Metropolitan area; and I do not think it would be appropriate to give the information in an incomplete form.
