§ Mr. Brooke[holding answer 15 January 1993]: I met representatives of the Pools Promoters Association on 9 December 1992, when they put forward a list of changes that they would like to see to their regulatory regime. I look forward to continuing the debate as the Bill progresses. I am not conscious of any approach for a meeting from the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers.
