FUTURE OF THE HORSERACING LEVY
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House notes that the horseracing industry supports employment of 100,000 people in Britain and that the racing industry
contributes £3.5 billion to the UK economy each year; celebrates the contribution the industry makes to the cultural and sporting
landscape of Britain; recognises Newmarket’s role as the global headquarters of racing; but further notes that the horseracing
betting levy yield has been falling in recent years; further recognises the changing nature of the gambling industry; is concerned
that betting operators are increasingly based offshore and so do not fully contribute to the levy; and considers that the
Government should bring forward proposals to improve the system of funding for racing and the relationship between racing
and bookmakers before the end of 2011.
