§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to allow local authorities to pass general policy resolutions in respect of amusement arcades, so as to ensure that the amount of gambling in such places is adequately controlled by the local elected representatives; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganI am not satisfied on my present information that the powers of local authorities are inadequate, but my right hon. Friend is keeping the matter under close review.
