§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will estimate the level of(a) satisfied and (b) unsatisfied unstimulated demand for gambling.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI have been asked to reply.
Net consumer expenditure—estimated at about £ 3 billion in 1991–92—provides the best indication of the level of satisfied demand for gambling. By its nature, it is not possible to estimate the level of any unsatisfied demand.
