Anyone noticed that the siting of the first Super Casino in manchester has been rejected in the lords. Anyone know if the government can push it through or are tose mancs scuppered? Anyone think it would have been more likely to have gotten through if sited in Brum? feed.back |

i guess this throws the NEC's plan to develop one of the smaller scale casinos into doubt too now i wonder if this affects the Birmingham Sports Village proposal :crying: |

The government can always force things through the Lords. The issue is how long it takes, what compromises they have to make & how much appetite they have for the fight. Policies rejected by the Lords are usually modified & accepted eventually. Why did they reject it ? |

Scuppered by the Tories (who still have an unelected major presence in the Lords) they thought a big rebellion was on the cards so voted against it, having already voted for it in the Comons and as a First Reading in the Lords. It wasa minor ammendment that they voted against, but it effectively stopped further voting and debate. |

If birmingham wants a stadium/ sports village the piddly little casino at the n.e.c wouldn't have made any difference, we didn't have to have casino money to build the icc the nia etc etc. Just do it. |
