asked the Minister for Justice whether regulations providing for the keeping of accounts and other records in relation to lotteries and the furnishing of returns and information relating thereto have yet been made.

The answer is "no". The position is as stated in my reply of 2nd March, 1960, to a similar Question by the Deputy.
The Minister has not any idea as to how long it will take?
It would be difficult to say. The police are not aware of any abuses. It would be on that basis that they would make their regulations.
Are they not proposing to go ahead with the making of regulations?
It is a matter for the Commissioner to frame the regulations.
Surely they are made with the consent of the Minister?
That may be. If he deems it desirable to frame a regulation, naturally he would submit it to me.
Does the Minister not intend to ask the Commissioner to make it?
I have requested him to examine the Deputy's previous Question with that in view.
