84. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to prevent the participation of children under 18 years of age in bingo clubs and similar gambling clubs.

Mr. George Thomas

Section 32(3) of the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1963, already prohibits any gambling in which a person under 18 years of age participates except in a private dwelling house or in the presence of his parent or guardian, and in either case with the consent of his parent or guardian.
