§ Mr. Gorstasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to increase the maximum value of prizes that may be awarded in connection with coin-operated machines to which Section 34 of the Gaming Act 1968 applies so as to take account of the drop in the value of money which has taken place since the maximum was fixed in the 1960s.
§ Mr. CarlisleNo. I consider that the present prize values are still adequate for the purpose of these machines, which is to provide amusement.
