Mr Malcolm Moss (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)

I beg to move amendment No. 43, in page 36, line 29, leave out 'condition that' and insert 'conditions that—

(a)'.

Mr Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)

With this it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 44, in clause 84, page 36, line 31, at end insert

', and

(b) there must be no link between—

(i) any remote communication used for the provision of remote gambling, and

(ii) the remote provision of pornography or any other unsolicited services such as ''pop-ups''.'.

Mr Malcolm Moss (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)

These amendments are straightforward. We had an earlier discussion about access to internet sites containing pornography. The amendments seek to try to prevent as best we can—I accept that such things are extremely difficult to do—combined access to internet gambling and the provision of pornography or other unsolicited services such as pop-ups.

Mr Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport and Tourism), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)

The hon. Gentleman seeks to impose the prohibition of links with pornography on pop-ups in licensing conditions for remote operators. The regulation of pornography is not in the remit in the Bill. Legislation is in place to address the issues arising from both remote and non-remote forms of communications. For example, the Obscene Publications Act 1959 applies equally to material published on the internet as to that published in a magazine. There are already many protections in place, and I urge the hon. Gentleman to withdraw the amendment.  

Mr Malcolm Moss (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)

I am happy to beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Clause 84 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
