10. Supplementary memorandum
from the British Casino Association (GMB 45)
British Casino Association response to Question
from Lord Faulkner relating to the appropriate bodies to decide
where Regional should be located, and in particular whether this
should be a matter for Central Government.
"We believe that Regional Planning Bodies
will play an increasingly important role with regard to a number
of sectors and across a range of issues and we are content to
liaise with them, as well as local authorities, on where best
to develop casinos in the best interests of everyone. If it is
proposed that Central Government, presumably through the Office
of the Deputy Prime Minister, were to take the lead, then we would
wish to work closely with that Department as well. Our objective,
regardless of who takes the lead, is to ensure the maximum benefit
for both communities and the industry in deciding on appropriate
locations."
