HC Deb 16 April 1964 vol 693 c85W
42. Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will appoint an inquiry into the law relating to betting on sporting events, with particular reference to the dangers of pressures or influences being brought to bear on those participating or otherwise concerned, with a view to introducing legislation to strengthen the law on this matter.

Mr. Brooke

I have no reason to think that the existing law is inadequate to deal with any abuse.
