Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 July 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on The Tote.
The Tote
The Conservative Government in the 1980s were quick to justify their privatisation mania on the basis that they were sometimes getting rid of inefficient, loss-making state enterprises. The hon. Member for Tewkesbury portrays the Tote as never having been such an enterprise over an 80-year period. He was one of the more enthusiastic privatisers, although not in this place at the time, so does he believe that the sale of the Tote makes any sense whatever for the taxpayer, the racegoer or anyone else involved in the imbroglio?
