Gambling Bill — Clause 58 — Age limit for Category D gaming machines — 24 Jan 2005 at 19:45
The Gambling Bill gave power to the Minister to ban children from using 'Category D' gaming machines, i.e. arcade games such as the crane and "penny push". MPs voting No defeated an amendment to remove this power. Those in favour of the amendment argued that the power, even if unused, would prevent investment in these machines by arcade owners. The government stated the power would only be used if evidence emerged that such games harmed children.
The House divided: Ayes 139, Noes 211.
