HC Deb 11 July 1939 vol 349 c2078W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the declaration, dated 12th June, 1939, issued by the South African Minister of Justice, prohibiting the use or operation of pin-tables and gaming machines described in a list of 120 different kinds; and will he consider the advisability of issuing a similar list of machines the use or operation of which is prohibited in the United Kingdom?

Sir S. Hoare

I have not yet seen the declaration in question. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to a question by the Noble Lady the Member for the Sutton Division of Plymouth (Viscountess Astor) on 4th May regarding the South African legislation on this subject.
