HC Deb 08 November 1973 vol 863 c211W
34. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was with his approval that the Horse-race Totalisator Board invited the public to place bets with the board on greyhounds as well as on horseracing; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

Mr. Carlisle

My right hon. Friend's approval was not required. I understand that the board is currently discussing with the National Greyhound Racing Club the use in its betting offices of dog-tote prices. No action on my right hon. Friend's part is called for.
