  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The majority Ayes approved the motion:</p>
  
  <blockquote>That the draft <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2007/draft/ukdsi_9780110759142_en_1">Gambling (Geographical Distribution of Casino Premises Licences) Order 2007</a>, which was laid before this House on 1st March, be approved.</blockquote>
  
  This would have authorised the building of the UK's first 'supercasino' in Manchester, as well as sixteen other casinos of two new types created by the <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2005/20050019.htm"> Gambling Act 2005</a>. However, there was simultaneously <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2007-03-28&number=1&house=lords">a wrecking amendment passed in the Lords</a>.
  
  Soon after, the new Prime Minister Gordon Brown <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7264143.stm">ditched plans for a supercasino</a>.
