Clause 13 - Betting intermediary
Gambling Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 123, in
clause 13, page 6, line 16, at end insert—
'either electronically or by any other means.'.
I stress that this is a probing amendment. Adding to the clause the words that I have suggested might be useful clarification, as the clause does not make it clear that electronic betting is specifically covered. The question that I had in mind was whether the definition of ''betting intermediary'' will apply to internet service providers. No doubt the Minister can clarify the point. Once again, I am not suggesting that my own drafting is perfect; I tabled the amendment as a way of seeking clarification. I look forward to hearing the Minister's response.
