Proceeding contribution from Marcus Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Future of Town Centres and High Streets.


Future of Town Centres and High Streets

Betting shops are an important part of our town centres and high streets, as I am sure the right hon. Lady would acknowledge, and they offer valuable employment. However, the proliferation of betting shops has been caused to some extent by the provisions of the licensing legislation in relation to the number of machines that such businesses can have. That needs looking at and Mary Portas refers to it in her report.
