Evening Opening Of Betting Shops

EDM number 1175 in 1992-93, proposed by William McKelvey on 14/01/1993.

That this House urges the Home Secretary not to act with undue haste over the question of any extension to the opening hours of licensed betting offices; and believes that further time and consideration should be given to this issue, especially in the light of the widespread opposition to such change from betting office employees, local communities, the police, the National Association of Bookmakers, the British Betting Offices Association and other organisations like the British Greyhound Racing Board.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs.
