I understand the point made. We are not setting up an enormous organisation. This will be a very small operation, funded by the lotto. It is something we can keep under review. We will see how it pans out over time and we can always return to it if necessary. I think there will be sufficient work. It is a job of work that is discreet. Deputy Heather Humphreys has spoken to me privately regarding a concern about online gambling generally and how we can regulate it. There might be an expansion role for a regulator in this area.
