HC Deb 18 February 1983 vol 37 c281W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the gain to the Revenue if the present rates of gaming licence duty were doubled.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

It is not possible to predict the effect on activity in casinos were the present rates of gaming licence duty to be doubled. However, total revenue resulting would be unlikely to amount to double the Budget estimate of £14 million for receipts of gaming licence duty in 1982–83.
