Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 March 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Gambling (Geographical Distribution of Casino Premises Licences) Order 2007.


Gambling (Geographical Distribution of Casino Premises Licences) Order 2007

My Lords, the leader of the Liberal Democrats in Blackpool, councillor Robert Wynne, and the Liberal group on Blackpool council have consistently supported the proposal. There are one or two councillors who do not, but I can tell the Minister that in all parties that is a problem. Perhaps the Minister can really cut through the verbiage. If he accepts the amendment proposed by the noble Baroness, Lady Golding, will it stop by a single minute the granting of the casino licence to Manchester? I will give him his answer—it is no. The rest is just verbiage.
