In the House of Commons, Mr Parkgoff inquired whether, in view of the Government’s decision to discountenance lotteries and sweepstakes, it would include in the proposed betting legislation provision to withdraw legal recognition of Stock Exchange margin debts. Sir John Gilmour said that the Government had not reached a decision relating to lotteries and betting and could not forecast the provisions of the Bill. Mr Parkgoff; “Are you aware that the amount of Stock Exchange gambling far exceeds the investments in lotteries and sweepstakes?” Sir John Gilmour did not reply.
