To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer of 23 November 2006, Official Report, column 166W, on gambling, with which members of the Small Bookmakers Association the Gambling Commission discussed the consultation document on gambling operating and personal licence fees; what position each held in the Association; and what company each represented. (110456)

My answer of 23 November 2006, Official Report, column 166W, on gambling, referred to the Gambling Commission discussing the consultation document on gambling operating and personal licence fees with the Small Bookmakers Association. This was an error, since no such organisation exists. However, the Commission did discuss the fees proposals with both small bookmakers and representatives of small bookmakers, listed as follows:

Warwick Bartlett, Global Betting and Gaming Consultants and Chairman of the Association of British Bookmakers;

Howard Chisholm of Chisholm Bookmakers;

Charles Needham of Tremayne Racing;

Will Roseff of Backhouse Racing.

The Remote Gambling Association was also incorrectly described as the British Gambling Association in the previous answer of 23 November 2006.
