Protection Of Bingo Clubs

EDM number 132 in 2007-08, proposed by John Hemming on 07/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Gambling, Leisure and Taxation.

That this House notes with concern the high number of bingo clubs that have closed and that a further 200 clubs are under threat across the UK; recognises the distress and harm caused to communities and players, especially those living alone and the elderly, by the loss of this important local social amenity; regrets that bingo is the only mainstream gambling activity to be subject to double taxation; is concerned that players may turn to other, harder, online gambling outside the protection of the Gambling Act 2005; and urges the Government to review the bingo tax structure and take necessary steps to secure the future of neighbourhood bingo for the benefit of the broader community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
