BATTLE FOUGHT AGAIN
BETTING LEGISLATION IN BRITAIN. LONG DEBATE IN THE COMMONS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7.50 p.m. London, Nov. 13. The battle on the Betting Bill was refought throughout the night in the House of Commons. In committee the Government was again strongly criticised, particularly for not dealing with football pool betting and for rejecting the demand made by .many supporters in favour of the legalising of State lotteries. Mr. Winston Churchill took the leading part in the attack, declaring that the Government’s uncompromising adherence to the whole Bill was against the opinion of the country. Others attacked the provision giving the right to search for lottery tickets and providing for penalties for their sale. The Home Secretary, Sir John Gilmour, declared that the Government intended to have the whole Bill or nothing. The House did not rise until 5 a.m.
