The money obtained from the sale of the 4G licence last year went into the general pot relating to reducing the deficit.

I wish to deal with a few broader issues before commenting on the specifics of the legislation. On gambling protocols and online gaming, the Minister stated: "It is considered appropriate, in view of the potential for developing lottery sales on the Internet, to provide for the sale of tickets through interactive channels." Does this mean that there will be a television channel dedicated to bingo and gambling?
