HC Deb 01 February 1984 vol 53 c212W
Mr. Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to initiate measures authorising the bingo industry to introduce a national bingo game subject to limits on local front of house advertising; what limits he proposes to fix; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

This will depend on the outcome of our continuing discussions with the bingo associations. A number of hon. Members have written about the question of advertising and I have offered to meet them to discuss this matter.
