Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 27 June 2017.
In terms of the planning process, he’s right to identify that there has been a growth, it seems to me, in betting shops over the years. That’s only part of the problem. Online gambling is a major, major issue as well, and if people are gambling online, they’re particularly hard to reach. If I could write to him on the issue of the planning process and how that deals with gambling, well, I will do that, to provide him with a detailed answer.
