Philip Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2015-12-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much in horserace betting levy payments were received in (a) statutory and (b) voluntary payments from each betting operator in each of the last three years.
Tracey Crouch
Details of Levy payments are held by the Horserace Betting Levy Board. Section 28 (10) of the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 bars the Levy Board from disclosing the statutory contribution of individual bookmakers. The Levy Board has adopted a similar approach to contributions made by voluntary means, providing information about collective totals only. The table below sets out collective totals for each year for both statutory and voluntary payments.
