London, November 28.

What the football pool botting industry means to the Government was disclosed in the House of Commons this wook whore it was stated that during a year the State benefits to a sum passing the £15 million mark.

This is how the Government gets its money from the pools. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps, gets £340,000 a week from his betting tax, while Mr. Wilfred Poling, the Postmaster General, gets £55,000 a week from.postal orders money orders and postage. The State therefore, getu nearly £400.000 a week from.

The interest there the pools. is in this pool betting is shown by a census taken by the Post- Generat in October, monter which disclosed that 7,500,000 packets are sent to the various football pool organisations by the public every week.

That the Interest is growing shown by the fact that in 1945 the postings were only 1,500,000. Last year they were 6,600,000. The top Agure before the war was was 5,500.0BD-fu 1938.
