Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill (ways and means)

I am surprise at the lack of faith that the right hon. Members for Lewisham, Deptford (Joan Ruddock) and for Tottenham (Mr Lammy) have in their own constituents, because betting shops of course go where there is a demand for them. If there was no demand for them on the high streets in Lewisham and Tottenham, presumably some of them would close down because there would not be enough demand.
