Proceeding contribution from Richard Caborn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on On-course Betting.


On-course Betting

This is important; I hope that the right hon. Gentleman takes note. The new regime provides an appropriate regulatory structure for on-course betting in Britain. The regime addresses the three objectives of the Act, which are to keep gambling fair, to keep it crime-free and to protect the vulnerable, particularly children. However, I appreciate that some on-course bookmakers are still unhappy about some of the NJPC’s past decisions, particularly when the on-course bookmakers picking lists were combined in 1998.
