I must repeat that I am not the Minister responsible. As far as I know, floodlighting for indoor tennis will be as much forbidden as for any other sport indoors. I do not think that that point arises.

I accept that a moral judgment is implied in being concerned about what other people will think. What I meant to say was that there was no moral judgment in thinking that greyhound racing was morally bad whereas the theatre, the cinema, or the bingo hall was morally good. In that sense there is no moral judgment.

As for Weatherby's and horse racing, I understand that the secretary made it clear in a radio programme today that although there will be difficulty it will be possible to produce the Racing Calendar on a three-day operation.
