TOTALISATOR DIVIDENDS. WELLINGTON, October 16. What was the Government’s attitude in regard to the publication of totalisator dividends'? asked Mr I W. H. Field M.P.. without notice in Parliament. Did the Government propose to repeal the legislation prohibiting such publication ? It took days or weeks for this information fo leak through to tlie country districts, said the hon. member, but the towns apparently knew almost as soon as the races had been run. The Prime Minister: All I can say is that so far as I know, it- will not be passible to introduce an amendment of the Gaming Act during the presentsession ; and, therefore, it is not possible to do anything in the direction indicated. Mr Field: But what is the Government’s attitude? The Prime Minister: It will be for the new Parliament to give effect to the suggestion made by the Hon. gentleman, if it feels inclined to do so.
