There are huge changes happening in the regulation of gambling. There are divergent views, which is the nature of this issue, and it is very problematic. One change that has been touted, and on which there has been some discussion, is the removal of ATMs from racecourses. What impact does Ms Eade think that change would have? I think that it would be detrimental to the economic environment for caterers, small bookmakers, etc. These are not the major conglomerate bookmarkers and removing ATMs would finish them. Has the HRI delegation a comment on the matter?
