Text
Minister, I accept the complexity of the issue and of dealing with it in a shortened mandate. It would, however, be good if you could give a commitment that your Department will go beyond just scoping so that you leave the next Minister with sufficiently developed policy proposals, including proposals on online gambling, perhaps on an independent regulator and a levy, so that we are not starting from scratch in the next mandate.

Assessment
Not analysed
This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
