Proceeding contribution from Ben Wallace (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 March 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Betting, Gaming and Lotteries.


Betting, Gaming and Lotteries

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will take some advice from a fellow north-west MP, who knows the area’s economic geography and who also lives there. I understand his genuine concern about the deprivation and poverty in the centre of Manchester, so will he join me in expressing deep concern that Professor Crow admitted in his evidence to the Lords Committee that those factors were not taken into account when the location of the casino was decided?
