Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I agree entirely. Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the problems is that the perception is that the Government are making it hard for these clubs and their customers to continue and that that is having a knock-on effect on the voluntary sector in terms of bingo? There are all sorts of rumours at the moment about what people are going to be charged for a game of bingo and what tax will be levied. That is not a good thing. This is a good form of local entertainment, yet we are almost taking it away.
