The Minister of State has indicated that in the proposed new legislation on gambling regulation the Government intends to remove from local authorities any function in respect of whether gaming machines operate in their jurisdiction. I believe that is a valuable power for local government to have. I would be against excluding local authority members having a veto over gaming machines in their area.
