Oral Answers to Questions

Jack Rankin Excerpts

Tuesday 4th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jack Rankin (Windsor) (Con)]

Both Ascot and Royal Windsor racecourses are incredibly important to my constituency. I have visited both, and I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. On this issue, I urge the Minister to heed warnings from across the House and, more importantly, the industry. I cautiously welcome the briefing to The Telegraph at the weekend. Racing should be treated very differently from online casinos and gaming. Can he assure the House that taxes on horse and greyhound race flutters will not increase?

[Dan Tomlinson]

Decisions on tax policy will be made at the Budget.
