Financing Of Greyhound Racing

EDM number 231 in 1991-92, proposed by Tim Smith on 21/11/1991.

That this House notes with concern the Government's reply to the Sixth Report from the Home Affairs Committee on the Financing of Greyhound Racing; notes that certain aspects of gambling and competition policy will remain under review but no primary legislation is envisaged; welcomes those minor recommendations relating to the deregulation of on-course betting; and calls upon the Secretary of State for the Home Department to halt any further discussion on the relaxation of licensing hours on off-course betting offices until off-course bookmakers are required to pay greyhound racing a similar percentage of turnover as they contribute to horse racing.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
