Clause 9
Finance Bill

My hon. Friend the Financial Secretary said that the stake had gone up from 30p to 50p, which is a 67 per cent. increase, and that the maximum prize had gone up from £25 to £35, which is a 40 per cent. increase. It seems that the two percentages are out of kilter, and that there is a bonus for the gambling industry. Perhaps he could say a little more about that and allay my fears that that is the case.
