HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 c144W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the reduction in the number of gaming machines in use since the Finance Act, 1969.

Mr. Taverne

We do not have a firm figure of the total number of gaming machines in use before the changes implemented on 1st October, nor, as yet, do we know the number of machines which will be licenced under the new provisions.
