Tories call for supercasino statement
| 12 July 2007 |
As reported by: The Guardian
David Cameron today demanded a Commons statement on the future of supercasinos in the wake of Gordon Brown's shock retreat on the subject yesterday.
In a surprise announcement during prime minister's questions that "others ways of regenerating urban areas would be looked at", the new premier promised to re-examine plans for a supercasino in Manchester. Whitehall sources said the project was now "dead in the water".
Mr Cameron said today the government's policy had been "torn up "on a whim" at prime minister's questions".
The Tory leader told GMTV: "I think that was an extraordinary thing yesterday, because he told us, you know, we want cabinet government, everything is going to be carefully discussed, and suddenly the government's policy is torn up on the sort of whim of an answer at PMQs."
"I think we need a government statement, because there's the supercasino, which they were saying should go to Manchester. We were saying, the decision was very much flawed and they needed a proper review of that."
