§ Mr. MacArthurasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any proposals for making additions to the areas in Scotland in which licences for 41W general gaming may be issued under the Gaming Act, 1968.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellAfter consulting the Gaming Board, I propose to make amending regulations which will allow clubs to be licensed for general gaming in any large burgh in Scotland with a population of 125,000 or more. This will have the effect of adding Dundee to the three existing permitted areas of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The regulations will come into operation in time to enable clubs to apply to the Gaming Board for certificates of consent in 1971 and, if successful, to apply to the licensing authority to be licensed from 1st June, 1972.
