HC Deb 02 March 1982 vol 19 c82W
Mr. Bevan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, further to the answer of 2 December, Official Report, column 168, if he will examine, in conjunction with the Betting Levy Board, the Jockey Club and other interested parties whether it would be feasible to establish a national lottery, or several nation-wide lotteries, to preserve the Grand National at Aintree as a national institution.

Mr. Whitlelaw

I have no plans to do so.
