HC Deb 08 December 1964 vol 703 c168W
52. Mr. Bessell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider introducing legislation to apply a special tax on betting shops which might be levied on the basis of the rateable value of the premises.

Mr. MacDermot

The taxation of betting is a matter that will be reviewed, in the ordinary course, in the preparation of the next Budget and Finance Bill, and I have noted the hon. Member's suggestion.
