The Minister says it is not legally possible because there is a legal agreement in place and he does not want to interfere with that but if it was legally possible to stop it, would he stop it? Lots of companies have a contract to advertise gambling, for example. Regarding the Government banning the advertising of gambling, when it banned the advertising of tobacco products, those contracts obviously fell away because it was illegal to implement them. If it was possible to stop this going ahead, would the Minister do it?
