§ Mr. Gorstasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the extra cost of issuing gaming machine licences to take effect from the beginning of any month; and what is the cost of collecting them under the present system.
§ Mr. HigginsSeparate figures for the cost of collection of this duty are not available. Issue of licences to begin in any month throughout the year would, however, necessarily involve extra staff costs and would make enforcement more difficult.
