§ Mr. YeoTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans the Government have to sell the Tote(a) to a racing trust to allow it to compete commercially with all long-term profits invested in the sport and (b) to a profit-making company with interests in the gambling sector. [93794]
§ Mr. CabornThe Government's policy in this area is well established. The intention remains to sell the Tote to a consortium of racing interests and that is the basis we are working on. We would only consider other alternatives if that model proved to be unviable.
