HC Deb 19 December 1969 vol 793 c448W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Huddersfield Town Council is not among those local authorities which are to be asked for their views about the proposed new gaming laws in view of the representation made by the hon. Member for Huddersfield, West, on behalf of a number of clubs in Huddersfield.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

I understand that in deciding which local authorities to consult the Gaming Board was guided by its general criteria in addition to representations from responsible local opinion about demand.
