Coventry North East MP, Bob Ainsworth, and Coventry South MP, Jim Cunningham, have requested a meeting with the Minister at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to discuss casinos, following representations put to them by Coventry City Council.

Bob Ainsworth said:

“Its ironic that the Tory Party organise opposition to the Gambling Bill that brings about a restriction on the number of casinos that will be allowed, and then the Tory Council ask to make sure that the locally planned casino is not threatened.

“However, we need to work together on this matter so I am happy to try to help.”
