HC Deb 26 March 1996 vol 274 c507W
Miss Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to help the amusement industry in Northern Ireland cope with the effects of the national lottery. [22097]

Mr. Moss

On matters of interest to the amusement industry in the Deregulation (Gaming Machines and Betting Office Facilities) Order 1995, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for East Londonderry (Mr. Ross) on 14 March 1996,Official Report, column 739. These matters are part of the Government's ongoing deregulation initiative to remove unnecessary restrictions on businesses and are not linked to the effects of the national lottery.
