Memoranda from BALPPA (DGB 72)
DBG 72
John Greenway MP,
Chairman Joint Committee Gambling Bill
House of Commons Scrutiny Unit (010)
7 Millbank
London SW1P 3JA
Dear Mr Greenway.
I enclose a submission from our Association
in response to the publication of the Draft Gambling Bill.
In respecting the difficult task facing
you and the Members of your Committee in reading the numerous
submissions you will receive, we have attempted to restrict our
submission to the key elements of the Bill that impact on the
livelihood of those of our Members operating Gaming Machines.
We would reserve our position to make
further submissions by the end of February in accordance with
the timescale given by the DCMS at the Liaison Group Meeting on
3rd December.
This is particularly relevant in consideration of the extremely
short response period allowed for initial submissions on this
Draft.
May I also request the opportunity to
make a verbal submission on behalf or our Members at a date to
suit your convenience.
Yours sincerely
Colin Dawson
Chief Executive
