Debate

Casinos (Gaming Machines and Mandatory Conditions) Regulations 2025

Contribution

I suggest to the Minister that there is a huge problem with the impact assessment. If this measure is going to make casinos more profitable—the figures suggest that the increase will be somewhere in the region of £58 million per annum—then presumably there is the possibility of not just more machines, which the Minister has talked about the regulations bringing forward, but of that number being significantly greater if more casinos open and are allowed to operate under the conditions she has mentioned.
