THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON GAMBLING REPORT: POLICY
Lord Wigg asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the statement made on 6th October 1981 by the chairman of the Horserace Betting Levy Board at an official meeting with the Bookmakers' Committee under Section 27(3) of the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 that the Report of the Royal Commission on Gambling (Cmnd. 7300) is a dead duck" constitutes Government policy, and whether they will make a statement.
66
Lord Belstead: The Report of the Royal Commission on Gambling made a notable contribution to discussion of the problems posed by gambling. The Government's views on these problems were given by my right honourable friend the Home Secretary in a debate in another place on 29th October 1979. Work is proceeding on a number of the Commission's recom- mendations.

Resolved in the negative, and amendment disagreed to accordingly.
On Question, Bill passed, and returned to the Commons.
Lord Denham: My Lords, before moving that the House do now adjourn, I wish to mention that I said earlier that dinner would be available. It is now just after six o'clock and I have my doubts as to whether many of your Lordships will be remaining here. So if no noble Lord objects too strongly, I think it would be better if we cancel the dinner arrangements for tonight.
THE DERBY
Lord Wigg asked Her Majesty's Government:
What steps they have taken and propose to take in order to secure the continued running of the Derby at Epsom and whether the evidence given to the working party appointed by the Epsom and Ewell Borough Council on the revision of the Epsom and Walton Downs Regulation Act was considered by the Horserace Betting Levy Board, and if so on what dates; whether the evidence given by the representa- tive of United Racecourses Limited--a wholly owned subsidiary of the Horserace Betting Levy Board-was considered by the Board of United Racecourses, and if so on what dates; and whether the evidence was submitted to the Horserace Betting Levy Board for approval, and if so the date of submission and the date on which approval was signified.
Lord Belstead: I understand that the Epsom and Ewell Borough Council hope soon to promote a Bill designed to re-enact with modifications the Epsom and Walton Downs Regulation Act 1936. The joint evidence submitted to the council's working party by the Horserace Betting Levy Board and the Board of United Racecourses Limited was approved by both boards in July 1980. It is not, however, known what evidence was submitted separately by any representative of United Racecourses other than its board.
