HC Deb 21 February 1985 vol 73 c565W
55. Mr. Stern

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated yield in a full year from the extension of pools betting duty to newspaper prize competitions.

Mr. Hayhoe

Negligible—the application of any of the existing betting and gaming duties to newspaper prize competitions would be expected to result in changes in the nature of the games to avoid liability.
