Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will be aware that the Government approved the General Scheme of the Gambling Control Bill in July 2013, at which point it was published on my Department's website.

The Scheme was subsequently referred to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel for drafting. As per the Government's current Legislative Programme it is not possible to indicate when the Bill is likely to be published.
