HC Deb 16 December 1963 vol 686 c166W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many licensed betting shops there are in the new towns; and what was the total cost of erecting these buildings.

Mr. Corfield

Approximately sixty-eight in England and Wales. They are mostly in shop premises, old and new, or in parts of buildings, and not all are under the control of the development corporation. No reliable estimate can be made of the cost of the premises.
