Clause 65 - Application
Gambling Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Malcolm Moss (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 214, in page 27, line 31, after 'activity', insert
'according to criteria set forth in a statement to be issued by the Secretary of State in relation to the criteria for prescribing different conditions to different classes of activity, but procuring that such regulations shall not unfairly discriminate between operators of such different classes of activity or consumers of such activities'.
This is a probing amendment, asking the Minister to make different provisions for applications to authorise different classes of activity. It should be clear that the Bill is not intended to discriminate between different types of activity.
