Section 10(1)(g) of the 1994 Act, as inserted by the proposed head 5, refers to the operation of racecourses owned or leased by companies or subsidiaries under the control or auspices of HRI. We have five racecourses that are financially dependent on HRI, if not run by it. It was necessary for this to be the case. Is this something the Department considers could cause a conflict of interests and in the long run would it prefer if it were not the case?
