§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent discussions he has had with London borough councils as to granting such local authorities greater control over the operation of amusement arcades in their borough; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeI have not discussed this subject with any London borough council. Powers to regulate the operation of amusement arcades are primarily the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary.
