I very much welcome the passage of the legislation and the all-party support for it. I join colleagues in urging the Minister to put pressure on his Cabinet colleagues to bring forward the betting control Bill as soon as possible. We all want to see as much control as possible put in place but I am concerned that we will still have a major issue with gambling in this country. We need to start a major national conversation about the effects of gambling.
