When is the proposed legislation on gambling control, which will update and consolidate the law on betting and gambling, due? I ask this in the light of the documentary last night which highlighted online gambling. It is possible to have a casino sent to one's telephone. It is highly addictive. There is no legislation in this regard, and these websites are open all the time online. It is a serious problem. I am keen for the gambling control Bill to be brought to the House to tackle this problem.
