HC Deb 11 June 1968 vol 766 c116

7.30 p.m.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

I beg to move Amendment No. 108, in page 7, leave out line 4.

Mr. Speaker

With this Amendment, we are taking Amendments Nos. 109 and 110.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

These are preparing the way for Amendments which remove from clubs or institutes licensed or registered under Part II the right to promote non-commercial entertainments under Clause 40 or to provide amusements with prizes in the form of games of the fairground type either as incidents to non-commercial bazaars, dinners, dances, etc., under Section 48 of the Betting, Gaming and Loteries Act, 1963, or commercially under Section 49 of that Act. Licensed clubs are permitted by new Clause 2 to provide gaming with prizes on conditions comparable to those applying to amusements with prizes under Section 49 of the 1963 Act. The significant difference here is that this is to be treated as a form of gaming under Part II and not left to be governed by a separate code of law.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: No. 109, in page 7, line 11, leave out from beginning to 'gaming' in line 13 and insert ' and which is not'.

No. 110, in line 14, leave out from ' applies ' to end of line 18.—[Mr. Elystan Morgan.]
