Dr. Carpenter does not think that is the policy. That is interesting because Sky Sports is currently lobbying Deputies and Senators looking for the Bill to be watered down for Sky Sports Racing. The charge made by Sky is that it will hit the bookies' advertising revenue on that channel. It is asking for an exemption that would prevent the legislation being applied to Sky Sports Racing channel only. It is interesting that Dr. Carpenter does not have a view on how it would work for the Premier League, but Sky Sports is in here lobbying for the Bill to be watered down just in the case of Sky Sports Racing.
