The Minister of State mentioned the word "regulation" three or four times. I meet a lot of people who have problems with gambling and they have nowhere to go. What investment is the Minister of State going to make to help people with gambling addictions? The bookmakers and people involved in the gambling business are contributing money towards psychiatrists and so on but I have seen advertising on television lately about sex and bullying but gambling addictions have been going on a long time. The Minister of State is now coming out and talking about changing the entire system. What about these people who need help? Has he plans to look after people with addictions in the future?
