Casino head defends independence Published: 30 Aug 2006 By: Channel 4 News The head of the body charged with advising the Government on the choice of the first "super casino" for the UK defended his independence. Professor Stephen Crow, chairman of the Casino Advisory Panel, said its members were free of political and commercial interference, and the choice of the first super casino was not a "done deal", in spite of reports to the contrary. "Is Greenwich a done deal for the regional casino? The answer to that question is no, I do not know how I can spell it out, it is N.O.," he told a public hearing in central London. "We have made no such decision, in fact we have made no decision at all until we have considered everything, including those proceedings over the rest of the week and those next week and any other questions we think to ask afterwards." Prof Crow was speaking at the opening of an Examination-in-Public into the merits of the bid for a super casino at the Millennium Dome in south east London. channel4.com
