HC Deb 05 November 1991 vol 198 c41W
Mr. Pendry

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many greyhound tracks operate throughout England, Scotland and Wales in the evening for the last year when figures were available; and what information he has as to the approximate annual attendance at greyhound evening meetings.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

On the basis of figures provided by the joint standing committee of the British Greyhound Racing Board and the National Greyhound Racing Club to the Home Affairs Committee inquiry into the financing of greyhound racing, I understand that there were about 87 greyhound tracks operating in the evening in 1990 with annual attendance estimated at about 5 million.
