Nabarroasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an estimate of the total expenditure, in 1961–62 and 1962–63, respectively, on all forms of betting, gaming and gambling in the United Kingdom, including pools, horse and greyhound racing, bets in betting shops, fixed-odds betting, chemin-defer, faro, and bingo; and whether he will publish detailed figures in an appropriate form.
§ Mr. du CannIn 1961–62, the turnover was £92.1 million on football and similar pools, £61.4 million on dog racecourse totalisators and £32.9 million on horserace totalisators. There is no firm basis for estimating the turnover on other forms of betting and gaming.
