HC Deb 07 November 1995 vol 265 cc820-1W
Mr. Illsley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to publish his review of the Gaming Act 1968; and if it is his intention to introduce legislation in the next Parliamentary Session. [41364]

Mr. Kirkhope

We are currently reviewing the present controls on casinos and bingo clubs as part of the Government's deregulation initiative. Public consultation would be necessary before introducing legislation. We hope to publish a consultation paper soon.
