Clause 8 - General betting duty: restriction of exemption for on-course bets
Finance Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Michael Jack (Fylde, Conservative)
I add to what my hon. Friend has just said one further question. Why would the measure apply at a grand prix horse meeting but not at a grand prix motor race? There are examples of on-course
betting arrangements at the latter, and I am struggling to understand why animals should benefit, while human activity is discriminated against.
