Will the Minister provide an update on the progress made with the gambling control Bill? I know the Minister has worked hard in this area, establishing a working group on it this year. Will he provide an update on some of the issues that this group has worked through?

Gambling is pervasive across society. If one has a gambling problem, there is no getting away from it as it is present in every facet of society. It is a significant cause of concern for parents of young men who are particularly vulnerable to problem gambling. It is an issue on which much work is needed.
