Through my previous responses to the Deputy on this matter, he will be aware of the work of the Inter-Departmental Working Group on Future Licensing and Regulation of Gambling, established as a result of the Government Decision to review the 2013 General Scheme of the Gambling Control Bill and all relevant developments since. 

The Group's Report is currently being finalised and I hope to bring it to Government for consideration shortly.
