I ask the Minister of State to deal with the specific point made by those organisations, namely that they will be shut down under section 4(6), which states: "A gaming permit shall not be issued to a person—(a) for any kind of gaming in which by reason of the nature of the game, the chances of all the players, including the banker, are not equal". Obviously, all of the games that operate in these clubs fall into that category. As that is a feature of the games, effectively, the legislation will shut down the clubs while allowing free rein online with far fewer checks. I ask the Minister of State to address that section.
