§ Mr. Tom Coxasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to introduce greater control on amusement arcades under the present Gaming Act; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe have no plans at present to introduce greater controls on amusement arcades but are keeping the matter under review. To this end we are now considering whether we should initiate reseach into the extent to which under-16s use amusement arcades and the implications of this for the young people concerned.
