Clause 139 - Rules
Gambling Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport and Tourism), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
The tribunal cannot fine—it does not have the power to do so—but the regulations may specify that a particular class of person shall or shall not be treated as a party to put proceedings before the tribunal in onward appeals. It will be an offence for a person to fail to comply with the requirements, but a person found guilty of this offence will be liable to a maximum fine of £1,000. I hope that that explanation satisfies the hon. Gentleman.
