§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the cost to the Revenue of abolishing, halving and reducing by 1 per cent., respectively, on-course betting duty.
§ Mr. HayhoeA little under £20 million, £10 million and £5 million, respectively.
§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the approximate cost per million pounds raised in on-course betting duty of collecting that duty.
§ Mr. HayhoeI regret that it is not possible to isolate the costs of collecting this duty from those of administering the betting and gaming duties as a whole.
