View answerI am unable at this time to indicate a date on which the Bill providing for a new comprehensive regulatory system for gambling, including all forms of betting, will be introduced. However, I am pleased to tell the Deputy that work on the preparation of the Heads of the new Bill is at a very advanced stage in my Department and I hope to bring those Heads to Government later this term for its agreement to have a Bill drafted.
