Proceeding contribution from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 July 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on The Tote.


The Tote

The shops are the more profitable part of the Tote. If they are sold to someone not connected with racing, how can we guarantee an ongoing income from them? The money from the Government will be a one-off. The Tote cannot live off that. The right hon. Gentleman may suggest that a further Tote business could be set up, but I cannot see that idea getting past Europe.
