We have an illegal activity for which Mr. Cody does not have a breakdown of revenue. We have the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, which we will discuss later in respect of the national lottery. Mr. Cody does not know what the revenue from e-gaming is. The UK, where the figures are gathered, had revenue of £14 billion from this. Does Mr. Cody know that 60% of profits for online gambling companies were contributed by 5% of punters. Just imagine that. Does Mr. Cody not see that as a serious issue?
