He probably thinks there is a fair and foul witch in the audience.
I do not agree for one moment with this lottery Bill, not even the Title, but one thing I agree with is the establishment of a regulator. That is a good idea. I think we will sell the company but, regardless, it is a good thing if out of this we get a regulator for the lottery and for gambling, because we need to be far more objective in how the money is distributed. Also, if we are to open up online gambling, it should be regulated. I give the Minister that as my only gift in this whole thing.
