HC Deb 17 April 1969 vol 781 cc286-7W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the result of his review of the powers of local authorities to control amusement centres, including the opening hours of such centres, the number of machines, and the age of persons using the centres; and if he will now introduce the necessary amending legislation.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

I am not satisfied on my present information that the powers of local authorities are inadequate, and that there is a case for legislation at this juncture.
